I've often trouble catching IO errors in general. Now a frequent case everywhere in an app after I've added a defaultsockettimout. Is this a legal/right practice to change the Exception tree like this:
socket.error.__bases__ = (EnvironmentError,) And is there a chance that in future there is a common base exception class (EnvironmentError or an new super class) for these kind of exceptions (socket, httplib, ftplib, ...) -robert -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
