Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amaur...@gmail.com> added the comment: No, it seems that 2.5 has the same problem. The 'socket error' message is raised in urllib.py. The socket module is innocent to me... It appears that this file routinely raises IOErrors, passing various arguments, which are not stored properly in the IOError object. IMO it should raise subclasses of IOError. In this particular case of "socket error", it should let the exception propagate. Other occurrences need more thinking.
