second easiest is to do the naive urllib.urlopen approach - no timeouts, anything like that
you could also do this with a timeout - you have to do some of it yourself, using select.select - I can post some code for this if you like.
IIRC, there's a timeout module you can import floating aroudn somewhere...
I've done timeouts using signals, too. I *think* the signal module is cross platform. seb
