Hi, by googling for a ssl socket problem, i've seen you guys had the same problem
ie : http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2005-April/278179.html I have found the problem : If you trace a little bit and look at __module__ attribute of the socket, you will probably find out socket has been patched but the timeout mechanism, provided by the old timeoutsocket.py module provided by Timothy O'Malley timeoutsocket module is pretty *strong* since it catches all sockets in your code, even thaught you did'nt ask for it, imo this is evil Latests Python have integrated timeout mechanism in sockets so you should remove all timeoutsocket.py you have in your paths Regards Tarek -- Tarek ZIADE, Nuxeo SARL: Zope Service Provider.
