It's only needed for Python 2.2 and earlier; it should be quite safe to replace with the built-in equivalents on any modern version of Python. (You may find that programs aren't using it anyway if they spot the modern version is available; e.g. feedparser and rawdog both used to use timeoutsocket as a fallback, and have removed this more recently when dropping support for older Python versions.) If you've got code that used to do: timeoutsocket.setDefaultSocketTimeout(n) # the most common usage somesocket.set_timeout(n) somesocket.get_timeout() then the modern equivalents are: socket.setdefaulttimeout(n) somesocket.settimeout(n) somesocket.gettimeout() Thanks, -- Adam Sampson <[email protected]> <http://offog.org/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
