Hey I'm wondering how to handle specific error codes. For example, [Errno 111] Connection refused

I want to catch this specific error in the socket module and print something.

python sockets exception

If you want to get the error code, this seems to do the trick;

import errno

try:
    socket_connection()
except socket.error as error:
    if error.errno == errno.ECONNREFUSED:
        print(os.strerror(error.errno))
    else:
        raise

You can look up errno error codes.
