Chris Gilmer commented on LIBCLOUD-199:
---------------------------------------
I know we check the version of python to import certain libraries. Would this
be a case for checking the version number and either calling a timeout or not?
I'm also open to other ideas about how to get the timeout behavior I'm looking
for.

> Authentication calls to an openstack endpoint (in this case Rackspace) will
> occasionally create a connection that will stay open indefinitely. By adding
> a timeout I can force the connection to close after a few seconds. That way
> I can catch this behavior with an exception and log the error before the
> server request times out. In this branch I add a timeout kwarg and set a
> reasonable default of 200 seconds.
