Resolving 10060, 'Operation timed out'

[willitfw]

Does anyone know how to prevent this error from occurring: IOError:
[Errno socket error] (10060, 'Operation timed out').

I am using the following code without any luck.  Obviously I am missing
something.

import socket
socket.setdefaulttimeout(20)

Thank you in advance.

I'm including the code that I've been using.  I am relatively new to
python, and not sure if a socket was created:

*
import socket

socket.setdefaulttimeout(None)
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

from urllib import urlopen
import urllib, urlparse, string, time

web = 'http://www.python.org'

socket.setdefaulttimeout(1200)
website = web

print website

pinhtml = urllib.urlopen(website)
data = pinhtml.read()
sock.close()
pinhtml.close()

schedule a monthly ftp event

Greetings,
I am looking for some guidance on a script.

My goals are:
1) have this script run automatically through a time set schedule.
2) verify if a file is updated on an ftp site (usually on the 15th of
the month).
3) If the updated file exists, ftp it to local drive.
4) e-mail other users when the file has been updated on the local
drive.

I realize this is quite extensive, but any leads or source code will be
appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom W.
