authproxy failure under python 2.7.6

[motoaddict]

File "/home/ubuntu/appengine/apps/gethtoys/lib/bitcoinrpc/authproxy.py", line 137, in call
self.__conn.sock.settimeout(self.__timeout)
AttributeError: HTTPConnection instance has no attribute 'sock'

Works fine when I comment out line 137.

What am I missing?

I'm not sure, I've not yet run into this myself.
When searching, all I could find was this related issue.
djc/couchdb-python#147

This is another issue...
#33

I've had trouble synchronizing lately getting dropped from RPC. I'm thinking it might be the library. Maybe its worth switching to a different one since Garzik hasn't updated that bug
