Bullshit. You get an exception. Here's my program: import urllib2 try: con = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.google.com/") data = con.read() print data except: print "failed" If I run it with no internet connection, I get this: $ python testit.py failed If I bring up the internet connection, then I get a bunch of HTML. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
