[Jython-users] socket.setdefaulttimeout

[Dirk V. <dv...@2s...>]

Hello,

the following request will never timeout (despite setdefaulttimeout):

==cut
import socket
import urllib2

socket.setdefaulttimeout(2)

f = urllib2.urlopen("http://damn.slow.com/whatever")

print f.read()
==cut

This neither works for 2.2.1 (i got the last socket.py because of
http://bugs.jython.org/issue1154) nor 2.5 (from svn):

Is this supposed to work?

Regards,
Dirk
