[issue10272] SSL timeouts should raise socket.timeout, not a generic SSLError

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Requalifying this issue so that the ssl module is fixed to raise socket.timeout on socket timeouts, which is not only more logical but much more useful (since you can then specifically handle this error).
