Hi,
=C2=A0
I am try to get more specific error messages using try/except=2E
I ran this code with the cable unplugged to see the error message=2E I got=
=20

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import urllib=2Erequest

webpage =3D urllib=2Erequest=2Eurlopen("http://fakewebsite=2Ecom/")
text =3D webpage=2Eread()=2Edecode("utf8")


I got two errors=2E This:
[=2E=2E=2E=2E]
socket=2Egaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known

and this:
[=2E=2E=2E=2E]
urllib=2Eerror=2EURLError: <urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not k=
nown>

I tried this but got more error messages=2E
try:
    webpage =3D urllib=2Erequest=2Eurlopen("http://fakewebsite=2Ecom/")
    text =3D webpage=2Eread()=2Edecode("utf8")
except URLError as err:
    print("URLError: " + str(err))

How do I wrap urllib=2Erequest with try/except?
