This is my program, the main function trys to create a urllib connection, and if it fails/succeeds the label changes accordingly. However, I'm looking for ways to improve this code. If anyone has any ideas- I'd appreciate it.

Some elements I'm already aware of -

• The use of place really isn't ideal, I'm aware
• Importing Urllib twice, but if I didn't do it like this the except: wasnt working correctly
• Use of global
