How do I set the timeout of a SocketServer in Python?

Question

I want to use server.get_request() to receive requests, but I want it to timeout after 500 milliseconds. Is this correct? Doesn't seem to work... thanks.

class UDPServer(SocketServer.BaseRequestHandler):
    timeout = .500

if __name__ == "__main__":
    server = SocketServer.UDPServer(('localhost', '12345'), UDPServer)
    server.get_request()

I feel there are some places wrong: 1. The class derived from SocketServer.BaseRequestHandler should be MyUDPServerHandler or something else, but should not be UDPServer which is a built-in class in SocketServer 2. It should be " server = SocketServer.UDPServer(('localhost', '12345'), MyUDPServerhandler) 3. Then maybe it should be server.timeout = .500. And define a handle_timeout() method
