Can't get whois for domain like wired.com

[bsacks99]

Came up in testing. It just hangs.

I tried:
whois = get_whois('wired.com')

and:
root = pythonwhois.net.get_root_server('wired.com')
raw = pythonwhois.net.get_whois_raw(address, server=root)
whois = pythonwhois.parse.parse_raw_whois(raw)

I haven't tried to chase it down, but I thought this might have come up and there might be a known solution or work around. At minimum I am not sure how to timeout the request.
