You just need to use the socket settimeout()
method before attempting the connect()
, please note that after connecting you must settimeout(None)
to set the socket into blocking mode, such is required for the makefile .
Here is the code I am using:
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.settimeout(10)
sock.connect(address)
sock.settimeout(None)
fileobj = sock.makefile('rb', 0)
