First, merry Xmas everyone, wishing you all well, :-)
While my head is still clear ;-) , I have an unexpected problem.
One of my apps which tracks a ftse website all day has suddenly popped
up with an exception & exited somewhat ungraciously. This is the second
time this has occured (512KB Broadband)
bash-2.05b$ ./live_datad.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./live_datad.py", line 196, in ?
live_datad()
File "./live_datad.py", line 189, in live_datad
ftse_day()
File "./live_datad.py", line 142, in ftse_day
new_data=html_strip(load_webpage())
File "./live_datad.py", line 33, in load_webpage
url_data=urlopen(HTML_addr)
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/urllib.py", line 76, in urlopen
return opener.open(url)
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/urllib.py", line 181, in open
return getattr(self, name)(url)
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/urllib.py", line 297, in open_http
h.endheaders()
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/httplib.py", line 712, in endheaders
self._send_output()
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/httplib.py", line 597, in _send_output
self.send(msg)
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/httplib.py", line 564, in send
self.connect()
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/httplib.py", line 532, in connect
socket.SOCK_STREAM):
IOError: [Errno socket error] (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')
bash-2.05b$
Is this is a DNS problem, if so its very strange since my app has
downloaded approx 60 web pages from this location today just before the
exception occured ?,
or maybe something else ?
Should I check for this exception when I ...
new_data=html_strip(load_webpage())
& if it occures, try again ?
Any comments gratefully recieved.
Cheers (Hik!)
Dave
