Is there a place to define a script execution timeout? I do not think so. I've been using urllib and there is no way to kill a urllib.open if its taking too long. Does zope has that implemented? There is a patch to Python's "httplib" providing a socket timeout option. Unfortunately, not all OS support the necessary socket system call, e.g. my Linux 2.0.36 does not. Maybe, your OS does.
