Recovering from HTTPError in Mechanize

Question

I am writing a function for some existing python code that will be passed a Mechanize browser object as a parameter.

I fill in some details in a form in the browser, and

Answer 1

I'm assuming that you want the submission to happen even if it takes multiple tries.

The solution that I thought of is certainly not efficient, but it should work.

def do_something_in_mechanize():
    <...insert your code here...>
    try:
        browser.submit()
        <...rest of your code...>
    except mechanize.HTTPError:
        do_something_in_mechanize()

Basically, it'll call the function until the action is performed without HTTPErrors.
