Anders Sandvig <anders.sand...@gmail.com> added the comment: socket.create_connection() does in fact set the timeout of the resulting socket object, so the issue is not an issue after all.
The problems I experienced was a result of sending the timeout as the third parameter to the HTTPConnection() constructor instead of a named parameter, i.e.: con = httplib.HTTPConnection(hostname, port, timeout) should have been: con = httplib.HTTPConnection(hostname, port, timeout=timeout) ---------- status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9641> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
