I'm developing some software in python that utilizes Steam APIs. I'm using Flask to run and test the python code. Everything was going swell, but now I'm getting this error (I haven't changed any code):
('Connection aborted.', error(10060, 'A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond'))
I have no idea why this error is coming up, because the code was working perfectly fine and suddenly the error comes up, and I haven't changed anything in the code or with my computer or Flask.
The code:

import itertools
import urllib2
import time
from datetime import datetime

from flask import Flask
import requests

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
from xml.dom.minidom import parseString

if 'profilestate' not in steamFriend:

if parseString(dat.text.encode('utf8')).getElementsByTagName('privacyState'):

else:

for row in steamprofile('div', {'class': 'commentthread_comment '}):
comment = row.find_all('div', 'commentthread_comment_text')[0].get_text().lower()
if ('phisher' in comment) or ('scammer' in comment):
n.setPhisherStatus(True)
phisherusers = (phisherusers + ('%s is a phisher' % n.name) + ', ')
myFriends.append(n);
except requests.exceptions.ConnectionError as e:
return str(e.message)
except:
return "Unexpected error:", sys.exc_info()[0]
return phisherusers
def chunksiter(l, chunks):
i,j,n = 0,0,0
rl = []
while n < len(l)/chunks:
rl.append(l[i:j+chunks])

n+=1
return iter(rl)

I would like to have an explanation of what the error means, and why this is happening. Thanks in advance. I really appreciate the help.
