Do this:

Thanks. Is there some construct which will work in 2.x and 3.x?

Something like this (untested):

    exc = None
    try:
        write_pid_to_lockfile(somefile)
    except OSError as exc:
        exc = sys.exc_info()[0]   # not sure of index
    if exc:
        if conditions_i_can_handle:
            do_other_stuff...
        else:
            raise LockFailed("Failed to create %s" % self.path)

Since you're raising outside the try...except block you won't see the chained 
exception in Python3.
