I am trying to execute a basic PyDictionary Python code, but I am getting a connection error even though I'm connected to the Internet.

Here is my code:

from PyDictionary import PyDictionary
dictionary=PyDictionary()
print (dictionary.meaning("Diligent"))

Error: The Following Error occured: HTTPConnectionPool(host='wordnetweb.princeton.edu', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /perl/webwn?s=Diligent (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x000000000A207CC0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 11004] getaddrinfo failed',))None

  • Sure it's the right URL? (try `http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu` instead of `wordnetweb.princeton.edu`) – ggdx May 30 '18 at 14:14
  • Actually its from PyDictionary package, I think yes. its a right URL. – harish bhavandla May 30 '18 at 14:15
  • Consider posting an issue [here](https://github.com/geekpradd/PyDictionary/issues) – pushkin May 30 '18 at 14:27
  • The error means that it couldn't connect to the URL that's used by `PyDictionary`, which is peculiar. I could just connect to it. This is a shot in the dark, but try reinstalling the module? Did you just install it? Is this your first time using it? – pushkin May 30 '18 at 14:31
  • Just to make sure, do you get the error if you run `from bs4 import BeautifulSoup; import requests; BeautifulSoup(requests.get('http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=Diligent').text, 'html.parser')` – pushkin May 30 '18 at 14:34
