Hello,I am currently working on my program which send queries to Yahoo and then saves them into a flatfile. The problem I have is that I need to conduct 200 searches and Yahoo typically times out during the search with an error. I have caught the error and told it to time.sleep(10) however I can only think of deleting the flatfile and starting again hoping that it will not time out again. Is it possible to get the program to catch the exception, wait 10 seconds, then carry of from where it was rather than starting again? If so, could someone please inform me how to do this?
for search in range(200):
for t in range(MAXRETRY):
try:
result=requestfromserver(...)
break
except IOError,e: # or whaterver error you get
time.sleep(10)
# log something ...
else: # if above runs w/o break
raise XYZError...() # define appropriate for your app
# here you can work with result
