This is an old problem. Once I tried to deal with that but could not
Yes it is this problem, thanks for mentioning it!!
reproduce the error on purpose. How to create a test environment for such network errors?
Exactly THAT is the point!! ;) Since the output of the exception does not work it is close to impossible to reproduce this. I was thinking about a clean way of forcing the error... but as mentioned in the very first mail "I think it is related to network timeouts" - may be just pulling the plug while waiting for answer on a network request would do that job... but as you see it is no nice 'reproduction'... ;))
Would the mentioned code 'output(u"%r"% e)' print the object for sure? Is it known to avoid those errors or was it just an assumption? If it is known (for sure) to help then I would suggest to change to:
output(u"%r"% e) output(u"%s" % e)
in order to get hints about the issue in the future.
