Resolving 10060, 'Operation timed out'

[willitfw]

I'm including the code that I've been using.  I am relatively new to
python, and not sure if a socket was created:

*****************
import socket

socket.setdefaulttimeout(None)
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

from urllib import urlopen
import urllib, urlparse, string, time

web = 'http://www.python.org'

socket.setdefaulttimeout(1200)
website = web

print website

pinhtml = urllib.urlopen(website)
data = pinhtml.read()
sock.close()
pinhtml.close()
