Thanks for the information. I was afraid that was the case. Threads is
a possibility (I'm running 50 or more connect attempts in separate
threads, so adding a control thread isn't much of a problem). But that
still leaves the question - if thread A is sitting in a connect()
call, can I, from thread B, make it stop? (Given that Python offers no
way to kill a thread from "outside").

Thanks,
Paul.
