Hi All
I have written an application that queries a POP mailbox and
downloads messages. When the application tries to connect to the mail
server, but takes too long (eg. longer than 60 seconds) I want to have
it time out.
Something like
try:
pop = poplib.POP3(POPHOST, POPPORT)
except someerror, err:
print "Connecting to mail box has timed out:\n", err
I know that in python 2.5 I could pass an additional timeout parameter
to the above statement ( ie: pop = poplib.POP3(POPHOST, POPPORT,
TIMEOUTINSECONDS), but I am using python 2.4.
Can anyone help me implement this timeout functionality.
Regards
Nicol
