Hello

As a newbie, it's pretty likely that there's a smarter way to do this,
so I'd like to check with the experts:

I need to try calling a function 5 times. If successful, move on; If
not, print an error message, and exit the program:

=====
success = None

for i in range(5):
        #Try to fetch public IP
        success = CheckIP()
        if success:
                break

if not success:
        print "Exiting."
        sys.exit()
=====


A little simpler:

for i in range(5):
    if CheckIP():
        break
else:
    print "Exiting."
    sys.exit()

The else part will only fire if the for finishes without breaking. Hope this helps a bit...
