Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment:

I have a patch that needs testing on Cpython Windows and if possible IPython.  
The test makes sure that the error message contains the path to the file (which 
the incomplete error message you report also does, BTW), and an explanation of 
the error (to address the OP’s concern that the message must be helpful): it 
looks for the string 'denied'; if this is not cross-platform, I won’t commit 
this line.  (Antoine, I’ve made you nosy because I think you may have expertise 
on that last point.)

(BTW, I have tracked down the source of the mysterious None (I’m getting better 
at these things, but my mental sanity takes a toll each time): core.setup 
catches the exception and wants to display exc.filename and exc.strerror.)
