You make a request and handle the exception once it is raised. — Klaus D.

You could do something like this where you check for connection to a site.

import urllib.request 
import urllib.parse 

try: 
    x = urllib.request.urlopen('https://www.google.com')        
except Exception as e: 
    print(str(e))

Ive not used urllib before but you can try something like:

try:
    #you put your code here
    #and it will raise an exception if
    #network connection is not available
    #so you catch that
except:
    #your warning code
