But I don't know how to do this can U please help > me. Sockets have a .settimeout() method, but it's hard to obtain the socket object used by urlopen *before* the connection attempt. So it may be easier to set a global timeout with socket.setdefaulttimeout(...) The in-development version of urlopen.py has timeout support. You might try to download and use it; probably requires httplib.py and socket.py too. http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/urllib.py?view=markup -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
