python用pymssl连接数据的时候，怎么提前判定数据库是否开启？

Question

我用python连接数据库，当数据库的服务关闭的时候，程序会卡死。怎么提前判定数据是否开启？如果没有开启就返回值。

试过用try except,但是好像没有用,login_timeout也用了感觉也不对。照样卡死

import winsound
import xlwt
import pymssql
import tkinter as tk
window = tk.Tk()
window.title('my window')
window.geometry('300x300')
e = tk.Entry(window, show=None)
e.pack()
def set_style(name, height, bold=False):

style = xlwt.XFStyle()
font = xlwt.Font()
font.name = name
font.bold = bold
font.color_index = 4
font.height = height
style.font = font
return style

def write_excel(d):

f = xlwt.Workbook()
sheet1 = f.add_sheet('学生',cell_overwrite_ok=True)
row0 = ["id","username","age"]
#写第一行
for i in range(0,len(row0)):
    sheet1.write(0,i,row0[i],set_style('Times New Roman',220,True))
#从第二行开始写从数据库里面捞出来的数据
for i in range(0,len(d)):
    for m in range(0, len(d[i])):
        sheet1.write(i + 1, m, d[i][m], set_style('Times New Roman', 220, True))
f.save('F:/'+tt+'.xls',)

    Mes1.pack()

    winsound.Beep(900, 1000)

def windowset():

windowset()

能否有方法判断出数据库是否开启
