Until recently, python had its own cross-platform implementation of
strerror, but it was removed because it was deemed redundant. This
tells me that it should work on windows. On the other hand, IOError
object and in fact EnvironmentError object already has strerror member
which is printed when available:
>>> try:
... open('/')
... except Exception,e:
... pass
...
>>> print e
[Errno 21] Is a directory
So now I am not sure what OP is proposing. Do you want to replace 21
with EISDIR in the above?
