In principle it's probably a fine idea. We should consider if it's possible to develop a uniform approach to timeouts for all the libraries that use sockets though. Otherwise you run the risk of doing it in different ways for different libraries and having to make a (small, but annoying) semantic leap when going from, say, httplib to smtpllib or ftplib.
Agreed. In the meanwhile, there's socket.setdefaulttimeout(), which has proved quite useful.
