alist=['http://someurl.com']

def testUrl():
    errList=[]
    for URL in alist:
        try:
            urllib2.urlopen(URL)
        except urllib2.URLError, err:
            (err.reason != 200)
            errList.append(URL+" "+str(err.reason))
            return URL+" "+str(err.reason)
    return "".join(errList)

testUrl()
