How about doing something similar for Windows when winerror is set? This is a common case since many os functions use the Windows API directly. Showing the symbolic error name will help to disambiguate exceptions, such as FileNotFoundError (ENOENT) from: ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND ERROR_FILENAME_EXCED_RANGE ERROR_BAD_PATHNAME ERROR_BAD_NET_NAME PermissionError (EACCES) from: ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION ERROR_LOCK_VIOLATION ERROR_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED ERROR_NOT_READY It could also support additional error codes that are common or used internally, such as ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED ERROR_INVALID_NAME ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND ERROR_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD ERROR_CANT_RESOLVE_FILENAME ERROR_INVALID_REPARSE_DATA Modules/_winapi.c: ERROR_NETNAME_DELETED ERROR_SEM_TIMEOUT ERROR_PIPE_BUSY ERROR_MORE_DATA ERROR_PIPE_CONNECTED ERROR_OPERATION_ABORTED ERROR_IO_PENDING ERROR_NO_SYSTEM_RESOURCES ---------- nosy: +ZackerySpytz, eryksun _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue2920> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
