You fail to understand that these code i now use was written with the 
help of regulars here and yes its correct.


As i said in my previous post i already identified that the problem was 
at the error handling.


Since this is not a socket.gaierror it wants:

except Exception as e: ?

i just tried it and now it works.

but then again why the:    UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't 
decode byte 0xb6 in position 0: invalid start byte

when it comes to determine the 'host' ?
