Hello,
Sorry, the verb of the sentence is "authenticates," as in, "My script
... authenticates."
But I can show the authentication portion.
8<-------------- start -------------------->8
# Creates an authentication object with the credentials for a given URL
def createPasswordManager(headers) :
passwordManager = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
passwordManager.add_password(None,overview_url,headers[0],headers[1])
return passwordManager
# Creates an authentication handler for the authentication object created above
def createAuthenticationHandler(passwordManager) :
authenticationHandler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(passwordManager)
return authenticationHandler
# Creates an opener that sets the credentials in the Request
def createOpener(authHandler) :
return urllib2.build_opener(authHandler)
# Retrieves the data
def getData(authHeaders) :
opener =
createOpener(createAuthenticationHandler(createPasswordManager(authHeaders)))
data = opener.open(overview_url)
return data
8<--------------- end ------------------------>8
So, to restate the question, how can I trap an exception in the cases
in which authentication fails?
Right now, the whole script is complete and working (thanks for your
help with my other exception-handling question). Except for the case
of bad credentials. The use case is that the user misspells a
username or password or puts in a wrong account information. Then, I
don't want them to sit for 10 minutes while the script makes 30 data
connections, retries and fails each time.
Thanks.
