timeout

Hi,

I'm building a download manager in python for fun, and sometimes the connection to the server is still on but the server doesn't send me data, so read method (of HTTPResponse) block me forever. This happens, for example, when I download from a server, which located outside of my country, that limit the bandwidth to other countries.

How can I set a timeout for the read method (2 minutes for example)?

Thanks, Nir.
