How to set smtplib send timeout in python 2.4?

Question

I am having problems with smtplib linking my program when emailing fails because a timeout never occurs. The server I use does not and will never have python greater than 2.4, so I cannot use the timeout argument for the SMTP constructor in later versions of python.

Python 2.4 reports that the SMTP class does not have a "timeout" argument:

class SMTP([host[, port[, local_hostname]]])

So how do I simulate this functionality?

Answer 1

import socket
socket.setdefaulttimeout(120)
