freebsd-ports/net/py-timeoutsocket/pkg-descr
Doug Barton 2fadfa2cfb For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.

timeoutsocket enables a timeout mechanism on all TCP connections. It
does this by inserting a shim into the socket module. After this module
has been imported, all socket creation goes through this shim. As a
result, every TCP connection will support a timeout.
The beauty of this method is that it immediately and transparently
enables the entire python library to support timeouts on TCP sockets.
