urllib2.urlopen(url) raises an exception on URLs that return HTTP 40x (or 50x) but fails to close the underlying connection. Because the call does not return normally, there is no way for the caller to close the connection himself. This is a major problem in webspider-applications, as ultimately the system will run out of file descriptors.
