    Okay, I already made this post, but it kinda got lost. So anyway I need to
    figure out how to test if the user is able to connect to a specific
    website. Last time I got pointed to the urllib2 page, but if I do
    urlopen() and and am not connected, the program stops. So I don't know if
    that was what you guys wanted me to do, but I don't think so, you guys are
    smarter than that. So, how can I test for connection to a website.

    Just for anyone looking this up later here is code that works :)

    from urllib2 import *
    import urllib2
    e = ''

    req = urllib2.Request ('http://www.dictionary. com')
    try:
    response = urlopen(req)

    except HTTPError, e:
    print e.code
    except URLError, e:
    print e.reason

    if e == '':
    print "good to go"
