New submission from Hagen Fürstenau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
When trying to open a directory (on Linux), Python 2.x complained with
>>> open("local")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory
Python 3.0 however gives the rather unhelpful or even wrong
>>> open("local")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/MC/hagenf/local/lib/python3.0/io.py", line 284, in __new__
return open(*args, **kwargs)
File "/home/MC/hagenf/local/lib/python3.0/io.py", line 223, in open
closefd)
IOError: [Errno 0] Error: 'local'
