Sorry, I wasn't clear. It fails immediately. The timeout isn't observed.

Maybe _socket shouldn't have such a detailed doc string or should indicate
its subservient relationship to socket? I was reading it as if it was a
comment in the code, which, in theory, should still be accurate.

I'll take a look. There's a bug already in the system
(http://www.python.org/sf/707074) to which a patch could be applied, so if
someone comes up with something, that's where it goes.
