setsockopt and urllib

[Frank Neuber]

Hi group,
I have to set special timeouts on receive and send calls in conjunction with 
urllib-calls.
Is there a simple solution to do this without modifying the urllib itself.
For Example:
I wish to set the timeout to 60 s for the following command:
(tmpfile, hdr) = urllib.urlretrive(urlname)
It is possible to to this with the socks module call 
setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET,SO_RCVTIMEO, ttime) over the urllib module.

thanks in advance
Frank
