Test: $ sudo ifconfig eth0 down $ cat test.py import wikipedia site = wikipedia.getSite() page = wikipedia.Page(site, 'S') text = page.get() $ LANG=ru_RU.utf8 python test.py Error downloading data: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 27: ordinal not in range(128) Request ru:/w/api.php?inprop=protection%7Ctalkid%7Csubjectid%7Curl%7Creadable&format=json&rvprop=content%7Cids%7Cflags%7Ctimestamp%7Cuser%7Ccomment%7Csize&prop=revisions%7Cinfo&titles=S&rvlimit=1&action=query Retrying in 1 minutes... ^C

After fix (added "e = unicode(str(e), locale.getpreferredencoding())"): $ LANG=ru_RU.utf8 python test.py <urlopen error [Errno 101] Сеть недоступна> WARNING: Could not open [...]

2. Added raise MaxTriesExceededError when max tries exceeded.
