Dear fellow Pythonistas, is it possible to check with Python whether a computer is connected to the internet or not?
You've got several options. The simplest, cross-platform solution is to connect a socket to a known port on a known server with a timeout and see if it connects. But there are ping-alike Python modules around if that's really what you want: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=python+ping+module
And how do I make my python scipts that use urllib to recognize the windows operating system proxy settings?
