Yesterday, I needed to make a web request in a program (actually a test)
that could block indefinately, so I needed to set a socket timeout.
Unfortunately, AFAICT none of urllib, urllib2, httplib provide options to set
the timeout on the sockets they use. I ended up having to roll my own
code to
Yup. I just went through a similar exercise with urllib2. It wasn't
too hard to plumb through a different HTTPHandler that set the
timeout, but it would be much nicer as a default option. It seems
like a 30 minute project; might fit in an odds and ends sprint.

It might also be nice if the modules that rely on blocking mode being set
