Python - Urllib2 Timeout

I got something below is snippet of my code opener = urllib2.build_opener(redirect_handler.MyHTTPRedirectHandler()) opener.addheaders = [('Accept-encoding', 'gzip')] fetch_timeout

Solution 1:

At a guess you probably need to set the socket timeout

importsocketdefault_timeout=12

socket.setdefaulttimeout(default_timeout)

Solution 2:

Which version are you using. It was added in 2.6

Also the method is

urllib2.urlopen(url[, data][, timeout])

Can you try providing

self.response = opener.open(url, None, fetch_timeout)

Yeah for all others, you could still use socket module to set socket time out.

Solution 3:

Look at the OpenerDirector class and the urllib2.install_opener() method.
