New submission from Brett Cannon: Windows has a max path length when the path doesn't start with r'\\?\'. When you hit that limit you get a FileNotFoundError but no explanation that it was because of some file path length. It would be nice to clarify this case in the exception message (probably by changing PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilenameObjects() in Python/errors.c).
