Question

I’m doing fetch links using python. and suddenly I lost the connection and display an error as below.

IOError: [Errno socket error] [Errno 110] Connection timed out

how to reconnect with the same link?

for instance

import urllib

a = 'http://anzaholyman.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/zip-it.gif'
image = urllib.URLopener()
image.retrieve(a,'1.jpg')

You can simply use the try..except syntax:

import urllib

a = 'http://anzaholyman.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/zip-it.gif'
image = urllib.URLopener()
while True:
    try:
        image.retrieve(a,'1.jpg')
        break
    except IOError:
        pass
