The best solution to this problem was pointed out by Josiah Carlson at
the time; Facundo expressed a preference for Josiah's solution, so it
must have been an oversight that the solution didn't make it into the patch.

Repeating the proposed solution here

sentinel = object()

def create_connection(address, timeout=sentinel):
...
    if timeout is not sentinel:
        sock.settimeout(timeout)
... 

Perhaps Fecundo could be persuaded to implement this solution?

Alan.
