You have.
Essentially, there is no universal sensible timeout.
How long with the processing take know the server load of the host .

That will always be sensible.

If you ever need to refer to it, it'll be in the history .
That is the point of source control.
What's the purpose of keeping it?

Answer Snippets (Read the full thread at stackoverflow):
If you set up the table correctly, then you just need to do:
translated_chars = ebcdic.translate(EBCDIC_TO_LATIN1)
