Does setting "socket.setdefaulttimeout" affect the timeout in MySQLdb for connections to the database? I'm getting database connection timeouts on a local (same machine) connnection, and I've been setting "socket.setdefaulttimeout" to 15 seconds so web page opens don't hang. But MySQLdb uses the MySQL C library, which doesn't use Python opens.
