Right now (in svn trunk) httplib, ftplib, telnetlib, etc, has a timeout argument. If you use it, the socket timeout will be set (through s.settimeout()). What behaviour has the socket after setting it the timeout, is beyond of these changes, though. BTW, I still need to make the final step here, that is adding a timeout argument to urllib2.urlopen().
