Max Staff added the comment: Yes I know about the errno. There would be two ways to resolve this:
One way would be by introducing a new exception class which would be nice because it's almost impossible to reliably check the allowed filename length (except for trial and error) and I have quite a few functions where I would want the error to propagate further as long as it's not an ENAMETOOLONG. The other way would be by introducing a new syntax feature ("except OSError as e if e.errno == errno.ENAMETOOLONG:") but I don't think that that approach is reasonable. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30641> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
