Mark Hammond <mhamm...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: oops - this slipped off my radar. I agree with *both* Frederic and Tony :) The module promises to raise an EnvironmentError, which is does. However, the main killer from my POV is that a 'winerror' attribute is likely to be of interest, and this is only available if we promise a WindowsError. In other words, to write code which conformed to the docs, you would need to write:
try: ... except WindowsError, exc: if exc.winerror==SOME_INTERESTING_CODE:... except EnvironmentError, exc: # hrmph.. The second except clause is not actually necessary based on the impl, but is according to the docs. For this reason I'd be happy to update the docs to reflect the implementation reality. ---------- assignee: mhammond -> fdrake _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1386675> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
