You might want to retract that bug report -- it's already there as of 2.3a1:
Python 2.3a1 (#38, Dec 31 2002, 17:53:59) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import socket
>>> socket.setdefaulttimeout(5.0)
>>>
Also, as of 2.3a2 timeouts will work properly in conjunction with SSL.
