I am not sure if this is always appropriate. In fact, doesn't this just
eliminate the timeout completely from this connection?

In your case you could achieve what you want by calling
connection_object.socket.settimeout(4.0) method just before calling
connect, without needing to edit M2Crypto itself.

setdefaulttimeout, socket.settimeout and socket.setblocking are pretty
confusing...
