Thank you Cameron.
I think the problem with my code is that it just hangs without raising any 
exceptions. And as mentioned by Laura above that when I press CTRL+C, it just 
catches that exception and prints ConnectionError which is definitely a lie in 
this case as you mentioned.

Update it to report the _actual_ exception received. (If any.) At least then you will be sure.

As my code doesnt raise any exception by itself, instead just hangs,

So, no "ConnectionError" message?

I wont be able to characterize the exceptions and handle them individually.

Can you repost you code once it is modified to display the precise exception.

Note that one easy way to catch all but progressively handle specific exceptions looks like this:

 try:
    ... code ...
 except OSError as e:
   print OSError received, specifics are:", e
 except Exception as e:
   print "unhandled exception:", e
   break

and so on, inserting the exception types _above_ the final "except" as you add actions for them.
