AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setdefaulttimeout'

[adrian]

I get those errors when I run:
/usr/local/bin/SquidClamAV_Redirector.py -c
/etc/squid/SquidClamAV_Redirector.conf

##################
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/SquidClamAV_Redirector.py", line 573, in ?
redirector = SquidClamAV_Redirector(config)
File "/usr/local/bin/SquidClamAV_Redirector.py", line 145, in
__init__

File "/usr/local/bin/SquidClamAV_Redirector.py", line 454, in
__start_urlhandler__
urllib.socket.setdefaulttimeout(self.timeout)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setdefaulttimeout'
#################

the line that is the problem looks like this:

#############
urllib.socket.setdefaulttimeout(self.timeout)
#############

from the global sintax:

##############
def __start_urlhandler__(self):
""" create the urlhandler object """
# set timeout
urllib.socket.setdefaulttimeout(self.timeout)
self.urlhandler = urllib.URLopener()
if self.proxy != {}:
self.urlhandler.proxies = self.proxy
self.urlhandler.addheaders = [('User-agent',
ModuleName + ' ' + str(version))]

##############

can you give me a hint with this matter?

urllib.socket.setdefaulttimeout(self.timeout)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setdefaulttimeout'

socket.setdefaulttimeout() was added in Python 2.3. You need to upgrade.

That just means the urllib.socket module doesn't have any function
named setdefaulttimeout in it.

It appears there might be something wrong with your socket module as
mine has it:

py> import urllib
py> f = urllib.socket.setdefaulttimeout
py> f
<built-in function setdefaulttimeout>

Alternatively you might still be ablet o get Tom O'Malley's
tiemoutsocket module, which I used in several applications until 2.3
integrated the functionality.

I seem to recall a bug related to sendall(), though, IIRC. I reported
it, but it didn't get fixed, again IIRC.
