                                :

EnvironmentError (including subclass IOError) has special treatment when 
constructed with a 2-tuple or 3-tuple.  A four-tuple turns off this special 
treatment (and was used by urllib for that reason).  As of 2.5, a four-tuple 
raises a TypeError instead of just turning off the special treatment.
