Catch "socket.error: [Errno 111] Connection refused" exception

Question

How could I catch socket.error: [Errno 111] Connection refused exception ?

try:     senderSocket.send("Hello") except ?????:     print "catch !"      

Answer 1

By catching all socket.error exceptions, and re-raising it if the errno attribute is not equal to 111. Or, better yet, use the errno.ECONNREFUSED constant instead:

import errno from socket import error as socket_error  try:     senderSocket.send('Hello') except socket_error as serr:     if serr.errno != errno.ECONNREFUSED:         # Not the error we are looking for, re-raise         raise serr     # connection refused     # handle here
