Could the PSF help here by offering annual prizes for the best
contributions to the documentation, or wouldn't that be an a
al socket.defaulttimout() or somehow monkey-patch the modules you
want to use, and neither of those options are entirely satisfactory.
Basically any method that can create a new TCP connection should acquire
an optional timeout=None parameter, right?

+1, with the proviso that we might add a description of how to exit to

gage a neophyte with an specific teaching strategy (possibly based on
personality analysis) and then present problems to verify comprehension

Another possibility, since Python 3 can break backward compatibility: we
could take a page out of Icon's book and use an "rN" suffix for

several of these kinds of

impinges on developers. Your opinions on these specific issues are
probably the most significant.

do I give the dispatcher control again to process the next asynchronous
network event?
The usual answer is "process the request in a thread". That way the
dispatcher can spring to life for each event as quickly as needed.
