I think timeout is refering to connection timeout. Ser at doc of urlopen:
"The optional timeout parameter specifies a timeout in seconds for blocking operations like the connection attempt (if not specified, the global default timeout setting will be used). This actually only works for HTTP, HTTPS and FTP connections."
