So now I am not sure what OP is proposing.  Do you want to replace 21
with EISDIR in the above?
Yes, that's what I had in mind.


In this case, I have a more drastic proposal.  Lets change
EnvironmentError errno attribute (myerrno in C) to string.

-1

You never want to change an integer field to a string.

'EXYZ'
strings can be interned, which will make them more efficient than
integers for lookups and comparisons (to literals).  A half-way and
backward compatible solution would be to stick 'EXYZ' code at the end
of the args tuple and add an errnosym attribute.

Actually, you don't have to put it into any tuple. Just add it
to the error object as attribute.
