I would expect the 3.3 documentation shows the best way to write 3.3 code, so I'd prefer to see OSError there. A good "What's New" entry as well as explanation/example of how the hierarchy has changed in library/exceptions.rst should cover anyone questioning the departure from socket.error. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
