I'm using Python 3.4 on a Raspberry Pi to upload weather data to a website. Sometime there's a problem uploading (slow Internet or something) and my program crashes. I'm using try/except, but for some reason it's not catching the error. I thought the the last except statement should catch any other errors.

Here's the error:

    Please read the error message carefully - especially the part about `AttributeError` – UnholySheep Feb 18 '19 at 18:35

    There isn't a `NewConnectionError` exception in `requests.exception`. [Check the docs](http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/_modules/requests/exceptions/) – sal Feb 18 '19 at 18:40
  • btw, don't use `except` alone: always use `except Exception` at least. See [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/14797393/8784382) – Giorgio Balestrieri Feb 18 '19 at 18:42
  • Thanks. I removed `NewConnectionError` and and added one for `Timeout` and the program catches the Timeout error and keeps on going. – Scott Goldthwaite Feb 19 '19 at 13:20
