timeouts (Was: checking an ip)

[Ulf Engstrøm]

I'm thinking this is something that should be put in the distro, since it
seems a lot of people are asking for it all the time. I'm using select, but
it'd be even better to have a proper timeout on all the socket stuff. Not to
mention timeout on input and raw_input. (using select on those are platform
dependant). Anyone has a solution to that?
Are there any plans to put in timeouts? Can there be? :)
