New submission from Pastafarianist: In both Python 2 and Python 3, HTTPException is derived from Exception. This is not quite convenient, since catching all connection-related errors while performing an HTTP query requires catching both IOError (which is subclassed by socket.error) and HTTPException. It might be better to change the parent class to IOError instead.
