If website takes too long time to load - Amanththonania - Jan 18, 2019

Hi.

I'm making a program that reads a specific site and then it writes the whole site to a .txt file.
I want to make it so if the website takes more than 1 second to load it skips and goes to the next site.

My code looks something like this:

Code 
import urllib.request

Number = 123

url = "http:/website.com/number={}"

while True:

    read = urllib.request.urlopen(url.format(x)).read()

    text_file = open("text.txt", "ab")

    text_file.write(read)

    text_file.close()

    print(read)

    Number = Number + 1

Something like this should work.
http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/quickstart/#timeouts

Code 
import requests

while True:

    #set timeout in seconds

    try:

        requests.get('https://website.com', timeout=0.05)

    except requests.exceptions.Timeout as e:

        print("Website timed out")
