1 """Exception classes raised by urllib.
3 The base exception class is URLError, which inherits from IOError. It
4 doesn't define any behavior of its own, but is the base class for all
5 exceptions defined in this package.
7 HTTPError is an exception class that is also a valid HTTP response
8 instance. It behaves this way because HTTP protocol errors are valid
9 responses, with a status code, headers, and a body. In some contexts,
10 an application may want to handle an exception like a regular
11 response.
