Besides what Jason mentioned, you could use the htcondor.SecMan().ping() 
method, which does indeed throw an exception if the daemon fails to send 
an acknowledgement.

For an example, see
  http://htcondor.org/python_notebook_examples/HOWTO_use_ping.html

Or to grab the jupyter notebook I used for this, grab
  http://htcondor.org/python_notebook_examples/HOWTO_use_ping.ipynb
