If run on my Debian Wheezy computer, or on my Debian Squeeze server,
the answer is instantaneous :
[...]
urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>
When run on my Raspberry Pi with Raspian Wheezy, the answer is
identical but it takes 10 seconds.
What happens when you use ping to resolve that address. Do you get
the same results? If so, I'd say you have a DNS problem. Maybe
you have two DNS servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf or similar, and
the first one is unavailable, so it takes 10 seconds to fail over
to the second working server.
