Bind timeout??

[Jerry L. <te...@ho...>]

Hello,

I'm adapting a QT LDAP browser using PyQT and Python-LDAP that will be 
freely available when it's useful - still a ways to got yet ;-)

I have a question about bind.
If I try to bind to a machine that isn't there, the app hangs for about 90 
secs.

It seems to be stuck at ldap.simple_bind.

Is there a way to make it timeout after a certain amount of time?

I've looked at set_option(OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT) and OPT_TIMEOUT but (assuming 
that bind actually looks at them) I can't figure out how to put meaningful 
values in there.  Every time I set_option(OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT,5.0)
meaning a timeout of 5 seconds and then check the value with get_option it 
reads
1.36904e+08 !!!!

Help would be much appreciated.

Thx,

Jerry.
