New submission from Mads Kiilerich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Module docstring says """Setting this option causes urlgrabber to call the settimeout method on the Socket object used for the request.""" But actually it temporarily changes the global default timeout.
If other threads are creating sockets in this short timespan they might fail in unexpected ways. There might not be any other easy way to set a timeout. The long term solution should be to provide a way to do it right. A short term workaround it to update the documentation to describe current behaviour. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 67066 nosy: kiilerix severity: normal status: open title: urlgrabber.grabber calls setdefaulttimeout versions: Python 2.5 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2916> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
