How to prevent python script from exiting when it hits [Errno 32] Broken pipe -

i have python script , i'm using while loop loop forever, script looks this:

#!/usr/bin/python  import socket,select,time,base64,os,sys,re,datetime  def on_outbounddata(self):         print "on_outbounddata"         netdata = self.netdata         if netdata.find('http/1.') ==0:             ms = re.search(r"\^s(\d+)\^", payload)             if ms:                 print "sleeping " + ms.group(1) + "ms"                 dec = int(ms.group(1)) / float(1000)                 time.sleep(dec)                 print self.request[self.s]                 try:                     self.channel_[self.s].send(self.request[self.s])                     self.request[self.s]=''                 except valueerror:                     print "self.s not in list (on_outbounddata)"                     pass             netdata='http/1.1 200 connection established\r\n\r\n'         try:             self.channel[self.s].send(netdata)         except exception, e:             print e def main_loop(self):     while 1:         # stuff         self.on_outbounddata()         # stuff  if __name__ == '__main__':     server = theserver('0.0.0.0', listen)     try:         server.main_loop()     except keyboardinterrupt:         print "ctrl c - stopping server" 

the problem though have while loop, script exit on own when encounters following exception:

traceback (most recent call last):   file "/usr/bin/socks", line 206, in <module>     server.main_loop()   file "/usr/bin/socks", line 121, in main_loop     self.on_outbounddata()   file "/usr/bin/socks", line 190, in on_outbounddata     self.channel_[self.s].send(self.request[self.s]) socket.error: [errno 32] broken pipe 

i want script continue though excounters exception socket.error: [errno 32] broken pipe. how can accomplish this?

you did not provide working example, answer can little bit theoretical. try make exception handling every point exception can happen.

e.g.

while 1:     # stuff     self.on_outbounddata() 

no exception handling here. partly inside of function.

also here not handle errors:

    try:         server.main_loop()     except keyboardinterrupt:         print "ctrl c - stopping server" 

here handle 1 type of exception:

        try:             self.channel_[self.s].send(self.request[self.s])             self.request[self.s]=''         except valueerror:             print "self.s not in list (on_outbounddata)"             pass
