Urllib2 and timeouts

In my script I started using urllib2 to connect to a list of
servers.It works well but only until a server from the list is not
available.Then if it is down , there is a timeout and my script ends
with the error.
So, if I have a list of 10 servers, and the second from the list is
not available , no others are used.
Is there a way how to solve that problem, so that servers after the
server that is not available will be used too?
Thanks for help

Wrap your connection inside a try: block. That way you can catch
the exception and continue your loop.
