The problem is that the socket.sendall() method may require multiple syscalls. In this case, does the timeout count for the total time or only for a single syscall? Asked differently: should we reset the timeout each time a syscall succeed?
From a user's point of view, it should count for the total time, IMO. If people want a timeout for each syscall, they should call send() iteratively.
