title: MySQLdb execute timeout
body: <p>Sometimes in our production environment occurs situation when connection between service (which is python program that uses MySQLdb) and mysql server is flacky, some packages are lost, some black magic happens and .execute() of MySQLdb.Cursor object never ends (or take great amount of time to end). </p>
  
  <p>This is very bad because it is waste of service worker threads. Sometimes it leads to exhausting of workers pool and service stops responding at all.</p>
  
  <p>So the question is: Is there a way to interrupt MySQLdb.Connection.execute operation after given amount of time?</p>
