除非指定超时，否则Python请求get不会返回

这个请求永远不会返回，或者至少我无法忍受：

import requests
r = requests.get('http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?rcprop=ids&format=json&action=query&rclimit=10&rctype=edit&list=recentchanges&rcnamespace=0', headers={'user-agent': 'api test'})

按Ctrl+C键始终会产生此回溯：

    self.send(msg)

    return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args)

向请求添加timeout=5会导致请求成功，在超时过期后，即从API请求返回正确的数据。当然，对于每个API请求，我的应用程序都会增加5秒的延迟

这里出了什么问题？

这是因为IPv6在我的网络上工作不太好。httplib和请求似乎更喜欢IPv6（如果它可用），但如果它工作得不太好，那么在IPv6请求超时时，您可能会有很长的等待时间。设置超时会使其在超时过期后返回到IPv4，然后重试成功。在我的网络上禁用IPv6已经解决了这一问题，我想，修复IPv6也会解决这一问题。

您使用python3吗？我使用python2.7.5，好的！当我尝试时，您的请求运行良好，python 3.4和2.7可能与其他内容相关
