There is a much easier solution:
Add the following line to user-config.py:
socket_timeout = None
Note: Apparently, the socket timeout is broken in the combination python
2.5 and MacOS 10.4. If socket_timeout is set to any number, error 35 occurs
when putting pages larger than ca. 30 kb.

After reading the following thread:
http://www.cherrypy.org/ticket/598
I came up with the following solution:
conn.endheaders()
        if hasattr(conn.sock, 'setblocking'): #####
            conn.sock.setblocking(1) ######
        conn.send(data)
I am not 100% sure if this is safe, but maybe someone socket-savvy can
find out by reading the above thread.

This probably is a bug in an updated version of urllib2 in python2.5+.
Could you try updating your python install and see if the problem remains?
