I need Python to check if it's connected to the internet every time a loop runs. I need the output to be in a variable, a yes or no thing.

This is the code I tried but it never repeats in a loop. 

try:
    socket.create_connection(("www.swisscows.com",80))
    b= [1]
    pass
except OSError:
    b= [0]
    pass

I would suggest to execute a ping request against a web site that you know should be online at all time. See the response here: Pinging servers in Python

    You updated your code with the ping method as given in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2953462/pinging-servers-in-python and it still does not work? In that case the problem seems to be somewhere else in your code. Can you post the complete loop that is not working? – Lydia van Dyke Apr 04 '20 at 22:27
