title: Python Way to check whether internet radio stream is avaliable/live
body: <p>I work on collecting internet radio stream files such as <em>m3u</em> with a link to stream inside <em>(for example <a href="http://aska.ru-hoster.com:8053/autodj" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://aska.ru-hoster.com:8053/autodj</a>)</em>.</p>
  
  <p>I didn`t find example on how it is possible to <strong>check if the link is avaliable/live</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is <strong>appreciated</strong>!</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPD:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Maybe the main question should sound like:</p>
  
  <p>Could be a stream broken? If yes, will the link for that stream be still available or there will be simply 404 error in browser? If link still available to open even stream is dead, what are other methods to check the stream?</p>
