Socket object has settimeout() member function. Just put your timeout when calling. Again, python 1.9.x only.

from socket import *
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
s.settimeout(1.5) # one second and a half

Any operation using this socket will raise an exception if the timeout is reached.

Bye

Still recommending "Foundations of Python Network Programming".
Many insights inside ! :-D

See the below example this is also handling exception for time out.

def get_request(self):
while self.run:
try:
sock, addr = self.socket.accept()
sock.settimeout(2)
return (sock, addr)
except socket.timeout:
pass

Hope that this may be help
