ianaré added the comment: The problem with WindowsError is that it is not included in Linux. So if there is an exception, it fails without showing the actual error. See here (ubuntu 7.10 default install):
>>> try: print a ... except WindowsError: ... print 'b' ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module> NameError: name 'WindowsError' is not defined It should return "NameError: name 'a' is not defined" In my workaround, by placing the OSError before the WindowsError, this problem is taken care of. Let me see if I can figure out something a little better than always ignoring this type of error ...
