Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: _winreg specifies EnvironmentError instead of WindowsError Initial Comment: The _winreg documentation says that EnvironmentError will be raised (throughout the docs, for various reasons), when, in every case, WindowsError is actually raised. A simple replace of WindowsError for EnvironmentError would fix this. (Let me know if you really need a patch). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Fredrik Lundh (effbot) Date: 2005-12-25 12:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=38376 however, note that >>> issubclass(WindowsError, EnvironmentError) True on windows, and >>> issubclass(WindowsError, EnvironmentError) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'WindowsError' is not defined on non-windows platforms, so it might be done this way on purpose. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1386675&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
