I have in my TODO list an item that says "put timout to
urllib2.urlopen".

I once digged in urllib2, trying to figure out something, and in a
lightning shock I understood it. I took a look at it again a few weeks
ago, but this time wasn't able to follow it, :(.

Anyway, I'll check it once again, hope to understand it, and try to came
up with a patch to be able to call urllib2.urlopen with "timeout"
parameter, for all its protocols.
