Python hangs on connect forever

Edit: I've discovered that the problem isn't the code, but the proxy hangs for several minutes. Is there any way I can set a timeout for this socket so that it can just request a new socket after say 10 seconds? Also, the Timer class isn't working. The classes aren't receiving the heartbeat notification

import socket, socks, proxyfetcher, room, threading, Queue, time

queue = Queue.Queue(0)
active_queues = []

class Timer(threading.Thread): #index = 0
    def __init__(self, index):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.mailbox = Queue.Queue()
        active_queues.append(self.mailbox)

    def run(self):
        while True:
            time.sleep(60)
            item = self.mailbox.get()

            if item == "shutdown":
                return

            else:
                for q in xrange(2, len(active_queues)): #don't send to timer or manager
                    active_queues[q].put("heartbeat")
                    print "Sending Heartbeat"

    def stop(self):
        active_queues.remove(self.mialbox)
        self.mailbox.put("shutdown")

class Manager(threading.Thread): #index = 1
    def __init__(self, index):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.mailbox = Queue.Queue()
        self.index = index
        self.proxies = proxyfetcher.fetch_proxies()
        active_queues.append(self.mailbox)

    def run(self):
        while True:
            time.sleep(3)
            item = self.mailbox.get()

            if item == "shutdown":
                return

            elif "init" in item:
                pid, msg = item.split(';')
                active_queues[ int(pid) ].put("proxy;" + self.proxies[0])
                print pid, msg
                try:
                    self.proxies.pop(0)
                except IndexError:
                    self.proxies = proxyfetcher.fetch_proxies()

    def stop(self):
        active_queues.remove(self.mailbox)
        self.mailbox.put("shutdown")        


class Worker(threading.Thread): #index starts at 2
    def __init__(self, index, group, username, password):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.mailbox = Queue.Queue()
        self.index = index

i saw a typo in your code. if its just from your post then I understand. typo:

 def stop(self):
        active_queues.remove(self.mialbox) # <-- MIALBOX on stop function instead of MAILBOX
        self.mailbox.put("shutdown")
