Again, I consider that we must not add one exception per errno, since the Python errno module contains 133 error codes on Linux. Many are very rare and don't deserve to add a new symbol to the builtins module. I suggest to close this issue. If later someone wants to get DirectoryNotEmptyError, please open a new issue with statistics of how many 3rd party projects use ENOTEMPTY. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32847> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
