Facundo Batista <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: The argument timeout can not have the same semantics than data, see the following cases:
- r = Request(url) - urlopen(r, data="foo") - # data is "foo" - r = Request(url, data="foo") - urlopen(r) - # data is "foo" - r = Request(url, data="foo") - urlopen(r, data="bar") - # data is "bar" So, what would happen if you put timeout in Request: - r = Request(url, timeout=3) - urlopen(r, timeout=10) - # here, the final timeout can be 10, no problem! - r = Request(url, timeout=3) - urlopen(r) - # Oops! In this last one, which the final timeout should be? None, as you passed that to urlopen()? Or the original 3 from the Request? With data you can do it, because None has no meaning, so only you replace the Request value if actually you passed something in urlopen(). But for timeout, None *has* a meaning... ---------- resolution: -> wont fix status: open -> closed __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2450> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
