title: python: [Errno 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
body: <p>I am writing python to crawl Twitter space using Twitter-py. I have set the crawler to sleep for a while (2 seconds) between each request to api.twitter.com. However, after some times of running (around 1), when the Twitter's rate limit not exceeded yet, I got this error.</p>
  
  <pre><code>[Errno 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What are possible causes of this problem and how to solve this?</p>
  
  <p>I have searched through and found that the Twitter server itself may force to close the connection due to many requests.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you very much in advance.</p>
