socket.getaddrinfo() block forever when using with gevent

Question

Using httplib2, I am sending multiple requests with gevent, after some time http.request() method of httplib2 is getting blocked forever.
On checking I found that blocking function is socket.getaddrinfo() in httplib2 link.

Answer 1

set default timeout using socket.setdefaulttimeout(). since timeout of getaddrinfo is not specified it will use default timeout.
