I’m using the Requests library and accessing a website to gather data from it with the following code:

r = requests.get(url)

I want to add error testing for when an improper URL is entered and a 404 error is returned. If I intentionally enter an invalid URL, when I do this:

print r

I get this:

<Response [404]>

EDIT:

I want to know how to test for that. The object type is still the same. When I do r.content or r.text, I simply get the HTML of a custom 404 page.
