I agree that it's a platform-specific implementation detail. However, there are lots of platform-specific implementation details written in documentation elsewhere already, especially OS related modules such as os and os.path. I don't think mentioning platform-specific implementation details for subclasses of OSError would be any less reasonable than that. Adding such notice for NotADirectoryError helps people who want a EAFP style code for nonexistent file by preventing them getting trapped writing a cross-platform code. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41737> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
