Postmodern Error Handling in Python 3.6

Kennethreitz requests lib? Just use requests.exceptions.RequestException, that should handle every error, if not then report it.

For python urllib IOError and OSError should suffice. At least in py3.

  import urllib.request
  try:
      urllib.request.urlopen('https://wrong.host.badssl.com/')
  except (IOError, OSError):
      pass

causes:

  ssl.CertificateError: hostname 'wrong.host.badssl.com' doesn't match either of '*.badssl.com', 'badssl.com'

and in Python >=3.3, IOError is an alias for OSError.
