Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment:

While this patch looks conformant to the documentation, it is very likely to 
break code in the wild. Even in the stdlib, there are uses of makefile() + 
socket timeouts (e.g. in http.client and urllib). It would be better to find a 
way to make readline() functional even with socket timeouts.
