Yes indeed that was an idiotic question made by me, but i was somehow 
feeling again that i should handle it in one-liner, avoid wanting to use 
2 statements.

I wonder if there is a way to assign the string "Unknown Origin" to the 
variable that failed in the try block to get a value.

Can i describe that somehow inside the except block?

I mean like:

except socket.gaierror as e:
	what_ever_var_failed = "Unknown Origin"
