In Lib/test/test_smtplib.py, there's a try ... except which checks the errno of
the IOError exception; though, the errno module is not imported, eventually

In Lib/test/test_subprocess.py there's a check of an errno value done against a
number, instead of using the proper E* constants, which is not portable (POSIX
does not specify any actual value of the E* constants).
This makes the
