Sockets have a .settimeout() method, but it's hard to obtain the socket  
object used by urlopen *before* the connection attempt. So it may be  
easier to set a global timeout with socket.setdefaulttimeout(...)

The in-development version of urlopen.py has timeout support. You might  
try to download and use it; probably requires httplib.py and socket.py too.
