[issue6520] urllib.urlopen does not have timeout parameter where as urllib2.urlopen has

[Skip Montanaro]

Skip Montanaro <skip at pobox.com> added the comment:

I suspect that was a conscious decision.  Back when it was first written
urllib2 was supposed to eventually replace urllib I think.  Dunno if
that's still true, but if so I could see why this feature wasn't added
to urllib.urlopen.
