I've just looked at the subversion repository and it does appear that
the timeout functionality was introduced in python 2.6 (or after 2.5.2
anyway).
http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Lib/SocketServer.py
http://svn.python.org/projects/python/tags/r252/Lib/SocketServer.py

I guess I'll see what I can do to adapt since porting my entire
project isn't realistic at this point.
