Does socket.setdefaulttimeout affect the timeouts in MySQLdb?

[John Nagle]

Does setting "socket.setdefaulttimeout" affect the timeout in MySQLdb
for connections to the database? I'm getting database connection timeouts on
a local (same machine) connnection, and I've been setting
"socket.setdefaulttimeout" to 15 seconds so web page opens don't hang.
But MySQLdb uses the MySQL C library, which doesn't use Python opens.

So that would be a "no", then.
