Try catching 'socket.error'.  It includes a tuple  of  the form (errocode,
explanation)


> sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
> try:
>     val=sock.connect((url, port))

    except socket.error, errortuple:
        print "socket error %s %s" % errortuple
         .....

>
> except Exception:
>     print 'no luck connecting'
>     sock.close()
>     del sock
>     print val
>     sys.exit()
