How to handle IncompleteRead: in python

The link you included in your question is simply a wrapper that executes urllib’s read() function, which catches any incomplete read exceptions for you. If you don’t want to implement this entire patch, you could always just throw in a try/catch loop where you read your links. For example:

try:
    page = urllib2.urlopen(urls).read()
except httplib.IncompleteRead, e:
    page = e.partial

for python3

try:
    page = request.urlopen(urls).read()
except (http.client.IncompleteRead) as e:
    page = e.partial
