So, simply I want to be able to run a for across a list of URLs, if one fails then I want to continue on to try the next.

I've tried using the following but sadly it throws and exception if the first URL doesn't work.

servers = ('http://www.google.com', 'http://www.stackoverflow.com')
for server in servers:
    try:
        u = urllib2.urlopen(server)
    except urllib2.URLError:
        continue
    else:
        break
else:
    raise

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
