Package: python2.7 Version: 2.7.3~rc1-1 Severity: important I get randomly a different error than what should be expected on that situation. The normal behaviour is to get urllib2.URLError. I often get a direct socket.timeout error. I could not reproduce this on python2.4, python2.6 and on a hand-compiled python2.7.2 on Debian Squeeze.
