For those who use Python 2.7 and later, HTTPConnection provides a timeout parameter !

httplib.HTTPConnection('www.cwi.nl', 80, timeout=10)

(This doesn't answer this question because the OP asked for Python 2.4, but it can help others looking for that specific answer).

you can use socket.setdefaulttimeout() and set it to a global timeout

example : 

import socket
socket.setdefaulttimeout(30)

now all httplib/urllib2 requests will have a timeout of 30 seconds.

Use that connection in the separate thread and join it using the desired timeout value.
