Hi,
 
I am try to get more specific error messages using try/except.
I ran this code with the cable unplugged to see the error message. I got 

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import urllib.request

webpage = urllib.request.urlopen("http://fakewebsite.com/";)
text = webpage.read().decode("utf8")


I got two errors. This:
[....]
socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known

and this:
[....]
urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>

I tried this but got more error messages.
try:
    webpage = urllib.request.urlopen("http://fakewebsite.com/";)
    text = webpage.read().decode("utf8")
except URLError as err:
    print("URLError: " + str(err))

How do I wrap urllib.request with try/except?
