I am attempting to capture url headers and have my script make decisions

In the case of authentication error, I can print e.info() and get all
the relevant header information. But I don't want to print.
Then don't.
If you can do `print e.info()`, then you can also do `info = e.info()`
and inspect the info programmatically.

Thanks for the response. I experimented some, but I am not even sure
what kinds of things to try. I mostly tried things like
E.__getattribute__() or print E.strerror, but nothing seemed to give me
what I was looking for.
Normally you would look up the documentation for HTTPError and see what
attributes it is documented to have:
http://docs.python.org/library/urllib2.html#urllib2.HTTPError
but unfortunately the docs are rather sparse. In this case, I strongly
recommend the "urllib2 missing manual":
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/urllib2.shtml
