New submission from Yannick Gingras <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: EnvironmentError and its subclass OSError add the value of errno in their error message. This value is an integer but the specific value in an implementation detail and the C runtime recommends that programmers use the symbolic values instead. Ex: one should use ENODATA instead of 61. For the same reason, the Python interpreter should try to return the symbolic value or errno when possible.
The attached patch replaces errno in EnvironmentError.__str__() by its symbolic value when possible. ---------- components: Interpreter Core files: python-26-sympolic-errno.diff keywords: patch messages: 67074 nosy: ygingras severity: normal status: open title: Patch to print symbolic value or errno in EnvironmentError.__str__() versions: Python 2.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file10377/python-26-sympolic-errno.diff __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2920> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
