Create Socket Errors on Purpose / Python Script

Question

I want to create socket errors (By doing things, obviously) but I've no idea how I should test if my script handles errors properly (If it dectes them.)

Currently, my code is this:

except socket.error as err:
    print "Connection lost, waiting..."
    time.sleep(5)

In theory, it should handle all the socket errors, print and then sleep (It's a part of a while loop.).

Any idea of how can I test it to see how it handles errors?

Use the raise statement:

try:
    raise socket.error
except socket.error as err:
    print "Connection lost, waiting..."
    time.sleep(5)

Yet another example:

try:
    raise AttributeError
except AttributeError:
    print 'Sorry'
#Sorry

Hah - Sorry. didn't mean to, I'd give 5000 points to everyone. I just plainly forget. Not that "I get the question" and I run, just forgot. Sorry.
