Which docs are those? According to these docs:

http://docs.python.org/library/urllib2.html

"The optional timeout parameter specifies a timeout in seconds for
blocking operations like the connection attempt (if not specified,
the global default timeout setting will be used). This actually
only works for HTTP, HTTPS and FTP connections."

Can you give an actual working example of what you have tried, what
you expect to happen, and what actually happens?
