You might be easily mislead into thinking that this code
try:
eggs()
except IOError, OSError:
pass
will catch both IOError and OSError exceptions. In fact, it will not, as
it is more or less equivalent to:
try:
eggs()
except IOError, ex:
OSError = ex # Whoo, overwrite the built-in name
There are about 50 packages in the archive whose developers make this
kind of mistake. I have attached log file and dd-list. I'm not willing
to do MBF, but if someone else is, please feel free to use my data.
