[issue30641] No way to specify "File name too long" error in except statement.
Max Staff added the comment:
Yes I know about the errno. There would be two ways to resolve this:
One way would be by introducing a new exception class which would be nice
because it's almost impossible to reliably check the allowed filename length
(except for trial and error) and I have quite a few functions where I would
want the error to propagate further as long as it's not an ENAMETOOLONG.
The other way would be by introducing a new syntax feature ("except OSError as
e if e.errno == errno.ENAMETOOLONG:") but I don't think that that approach is
reasonable.

[issue30641] No way to specify "File name too long" error in except statement.
New submission from Max Staff: There are different ways to catch exceptions of the type "OSError": By using "except OSError as e:" and then checking the errno or by using "except FileNotFoundError e:" or "except FileExistsError e:" or whatever error one wants to catch. There's no such way for above mentioned error that occurs when a filename is too long for the filesystem/OS. -- components: IO messages: 295810 nosy: Max Staff priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: No way to specify "File name too long" error in except statement. type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7 ___ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30641> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
