hi guys, i rewrote this function
`def url_is_alive(url):
"""
Checks that a given URL is reachable.
:param url: A URL
:rtype: bool
"""
try:
response = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
status_code = response.getcode()
if status_code == 200:
return True
else:
return False
except urllib.request.HTTPError:
return False
`
Updated version I wrote:
def is_urlfile(url):
# Check if online file exists
try:
r = urllib.request.urlopen(url) # response
return r.getcode() == 200
except urllib.request.HTTPError:
return False
