It's weird to say it but this looks like a bug in your urllib2 implementation. Somehow socket._GLOBAL_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT is None?

On my machine the traceback suggests the following flow of code.

def open(self, fullurl, data=None, timeout=socket._GLOBAL_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT):
    # accept a URL or a Request object                                                                                               
    if isinstance(fullurl, basestring):
        req = Request(fullurl, data)
    else:
        req = fullurl
        if data is not None:
            req.add_data(data)

    req.timeout = timeout
    protocol = req.get_type()

Which is called from:

def urlopen(url, data=None, timeout=socket._GLOBAL_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT):
    global _opener
    if _opener is None:
        _opener = build_opener()
    return _opener.open(url, data, timeout)

And in rosmake this is called without extra argunents:

fh= urllib2.urlopen(url)
