Errno 101 Network is unreachable

Question

Suddenly I get the following error from my code, sometime ago it was running just fine. Is it caused by the internet connection?

 #Get data checkpoint size
url = 'http://url:8080/vrio/blk'
r = requests.get(url)
data = r.json()



def counterVolume_one():
  wanted = {'Bytes_Written', 'Bytes_Written', 'IO_Operation'}
  for d in data['Block Devices'].itervalues():
    values = {k: v for k, v in d.iteritems() if k in wanted}
    print json.dumps(values)



Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "hyper.py", line 31, in <module>
    r = requests.get(url)

Answer 1

Try declaring a timeout at the requests block ie;

r = requests.get(url, timeout=20)

By doing this you must most probably get rid off that error :)
