Python handling socket.error: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer

by

“Connection reset by peer” is the TCP/IP equivalent of slamming the phone back on the hook. It’s more polite than merely not replying, leaving one hanging. But it’s not the FIN-ACK expected of the truly polite TCP/IP converseur. (From other SO answer)

So you can’t do anything about it, it is the issue of the server.

But you could use try .. except block to handle that exception:

from socket import error as SocketError
import errno

try:
    response = urllib2.urlopen(request).read()
except SocketError as e:
    if e.errno != errno.ECONNRESET:
        raise # Not error we are looking for
    pass # Handle error here.
