Because the code becomes longer, unless you want to mask other exceptions:

  name = 'http_error_%d' % errcode
-if hasattr(self, name):
-    method = self.(name)
+try:
+    method = self.(name)
+except AttributeError:
+    pass
+else:
      if data is None:
          result = method(url, fp, errcode, errmsg, headers)
      else:
          result = method(url, fp, errcode, errmsg, headers, data)
      if result: return result
  return self.http_error_default(url, fp, errcode, errmsg, headers)
