Bullshit.  You get an exception.  Here's my program:

   import urllib2
   try:
       con = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.google.com/";)
       data = con.read()
       print data
   except:
       print "failed"

If I run it with no internet connection, I get this:

   $ python testit.py
   failed

If I bring up the internet connection, then I get a bunch of

HTML.

=============================
Yep -me two

Process:
copy/paste into afile
slide lines left to create proper indent values
save
python afile

I get same as Grant


If one does a copy/paste into interactive Python, it does fail.
(Lots of indent error messages.  After all, it is Python :)
