Summary: uncaught socket.error exception
Initial Comment:
I got an uncaught socket error in one of my scripts today:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./replace-link.py", line 256, in ?
    page.put(changedict[title], summ)
  File "wikipedia.py", line 981, in put
    return self.putPage(newtext, comment, watchArticle, minorEdit, newPage, self.site().getToken(sysop = sysop), sysop = sysop)
  File "wikipedia.py", line 1049, in putPage
    response, data = self.site().postForm(address, predata, sysop = sysop)
  File "wikipedia.py", line 2673, in postForm
    return self.postData(address, data, sysop = sysop)
  File "wikipedia.py", line 2696, in postData
    conn.endheaders()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 798, in endheaders
    self._send_output()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 679, in _send_output
    self.send(msg)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 646, in send
    self.connect()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 630, in connect
    raise socket.error, msg
socket.error: (110, 'Connection timed out')
Since all that socket juggling is private to wikipedia.py, I suggest that this exception be caught and re-raised as a wikipedia.Error.

As of SVN revision 4096, socket errors from wikipedia.py:3174-3176 are not
caught (the comment just before these lines  even makes note of this
fact).
I suggest
response = conn.getresponse()
        data = response.read().decode(self.encoding())
        conn.close()
be changed to
try:
                response = conn.getresponse()
                data = response.read().decode(self.encoding())
                conn.close()
        except socket.error, errmsg:
                raise ServerError(errmsg)
It's really annoying to have a longer bot job that is aware of
wikipedia.Error crash because of an intermittent "Connection reset by
peer".
