Python requests - Exception Type: ConnectionError - try: except does not work
You should not exit your worker instance sys.exit(1)Furthermore you 're catching the wrong Error.
What you could do for for example is:
from requests.exceptions import ConnectionErrortry: r = requests.get("http://example.com", timeout=0.001)except ConnectionError as e: # This is the correct syntax print e r = "No response"In this case your program will continue, setting the value of r which usually saves the response to any default value
