Try this:
import urllib
url_opener = urllib.URLopener() # create URLopener
#You could also work with urllib.FancyURLopener
try:
data = url_opener.open("http://www.somedomain.com/index.html";) #
open index.html
except IOError, error_code:
if error_code[0] == "http error":
if error_code[1] == 301:
#do something here
if error_code[2] == 302:
#do something here
I hope that's of some help! I think you may want to delve deeper into
FancyURLopener...
