When a HTTP request done with urllib2.urlopen() gets redirected, the 
second request will ignore the given timeout value and may hang 
indefinitely.

Can you mention the python --version in which you encountered this issue?
And piece of code which loops indefinitely? 

The propagation of timeout to redirects has been fixed with Issue5102.
