non blocking socket.accept()

[Michael Gilfix]

  Someone else answered what you'll want to do with earlier versions
of python but if you're feeling adventurous and want to try out
the CVS version:

   sock.set_timeout(2.0)
   try:
       sock.accept()
   except socket.error, strerror:
       print strerror
