timeout on bind() function

[Olivier G. <oli...@c2...>]

Hello everybody,

I've a question: is there any option in the bind() function to make it 
raising a timeout exception ?
I'm testing the python-ldap library, and I wouldn't like the program to 
hang if the LDAP server is down, for example.

If there's no embedded timeout function, how can I make my program 
"timeouting" when the bind() function hangs ?

Yours,
