I just noticed in the development docs that when a timeout on a socket
occurs, socket.error is raised. I rather liked the idea that a different
exception was raised for timeouts (I used Tim O'Malley's timeout_socket
module). Making a TimeoutError exception a subclass of socket.error would
be fine so you can catch it with existing code, but I could see recovering
differently for a timeout as opposed to other possible errors:
sock.settimeout(5.0)
try:
data = sock.recv(8192)
except socket.TimeoutError:
# maybe requeue the request
...
except socket.error, codes:
# some more drastic solution is needed
...
