`Aenea: Successfully connected to server.` printed when not connected to server about aenea HOT 5 OPEN

I can concur that this is an issue that I'm experiencing as well.

from aenea.

Is anything else being printed? Wondering if this is the problem: https://github.com/dictation-toolbox/aenea/blob/master/client/aenea/communications.py#L97

Socket error is caught and we return None, which then gets converted into an empty context of {}. Since the printed message you note is just testing the absence of a general except:, it still gets printed.

If this is the problem, the solution should be to either use a smarter/more explicit check that the connection is up (this state is being tracked in the Proxy as part of retry and cooldown, so maybe we should just add a method to check directly?), or to propagate the socket.error exception (but I worry that could introduce further issues for intermittant problems or when using multiple servers on different computers, if things expect socket.error to be swallowed).

Hmmm ok, I'll try to take a look at this when I have a chance, but I'm about to head out of town for awhile so it might be a few weeks.
