My scenario is similar to the one described in this Stack Overflow post.
However, I want to log an error message if the URL cannot be reached. Here's my attempt:
# Defining the URL and checking the connection by printing the status
url = 'https://www.google.lk'
try:
page = requests.get(url)
print(page.status_code)
except requests.exceptions.HTTPError as err:
print("Error")
The problem is that instead of just printing "Error," it outputs a verbose error message like this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "testrun.py", line 22, in <module>
page = requests.get(url)
(...)
requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='learn.microsoft.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/urls-and-ip-address-ranges?view=o365-worldwide (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x7ff91a543198>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 110] Connection timed out',))
Could someone please advise me on how to modify my code so that only the word "Error" is printed if there is an issue, allowing for further customization based on requirements?
