Apologies if this has already been discussed.
I was expecting that by now, python 3.0, the following code:
# clean the target dir
import errno
try:
shutil.rmtree(trace_output_path)
except OSError, ex:
if ex.errno not in [errno.ENOENT]:
raise
Would have become something simpler, like this:
# clean the target dir
try:
shutil.rmtree(trace_output_path)
except OSErrorNoEntry: # or maybe os.ErrorNoEntry
pass
Apparently no one has bothered yet to turn OSError + errno into a hierarchy
of OSError subclasses, as it should. What's the problem, no will to do it,
or no manpower?
Regards,
