Python: URLError: urlopen error [Errno 10060]

The error code 10060 means it cannot connect to the remote peer. It might be because of the network problem or mostly your setting issues, such as proxy setting.

You could try to connect the same host with other tools(such as ncat) and/or with another PC within your same local network to find out where the problem is occuring.

For proxy issue, there are some material here:

Why can't I get Python's urlopen() method to work on Windows?

Hope it helps!

python urlopen error [Errno 10060]

As discussed in the comments, executing large numbers of requests in very short time can lead to the server, especially web-servers, to block your connection attempts.

This is a common counter measure to automated attacks on the web.
Depending on the server, waiting very short amounts of time between requests should solve your problem.

You could also use a more dynamic approach. First, execute as much requests as possible with no waits in between. If a request takes significantly longer than usual it is most likely a timeout and you have to wait. At this point, you cancel your request, wait and try again. If the subsequent try also results in a timeout you double the waiting time. With this procedure, called adaptive backoff, you should be (hopefully) able to access the data you want with minimal overhead.
