How to handle a urlopen error?

[jkjan]

Sometimes I get this error and I don't know how to handle it.
This is what I get when I try to crawl tweets like 500 keyword, a keyword at a time.
It takes a rest for 16 minutes after it collects 10k more tweets.
This error is just random. My teammates has not reported this one yet.

"An error occured during an HTTP request: <urlopen error [WinError 10060]
A connection attempt failed because the
connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or
established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond
Try to open in browser: ~~ twitter link ~~"

I know why the problem occurs and that is something I cannot fix.
This is very rare and I don't have time or capability of fixing that occasional connection error. And if it happens, all processes stop, so I should restart the whole program.

So I decided to avoid that error and go on to the next keyword using try and except.
Because I can save a keyword that made an error and search for that later.
I tried Exception, but it didn't catch that error.
Also HTTPError or URLError, didn't catch that either.
What kind of exception can catch that error?

Summary :
This is an example code.

How can I print that "Error!" ?

You can't. The library just calls sys.exit. Until #70 is merged, you can use my fork: #70. Warning: the fork will not be updated.
