[issue19624] Switch constants in the errno module to IntEnum
Antoine Pitrou added the comment: An option is to rename the C errno module to _errno and leave it unchanged, and provide a Python errno module which enum API. I agree it sounds reasonable. Using enum for errno should not slow down Python startup time. enum imports OrderedDict from collections, which imports other modules... -- nosy: +pitrou ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19624 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue19624] Switch constants in the errno module to IntEnum
Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: I'm not sure whether changing the errno module to use enums would be conceptually correct: enums declare a fixed set of permitted values, but errno values can be any integer, are platform dependent and are sometimes not unique (e.g. EWOULDBLOCK = EAGAIN, or the various Windows WSA errno values which map to similar integers as the Unix ones). -- nosy: +lemburg ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19624 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

STINNER Victor added the comment: I don't know if it's possible/convinient, but it would be nice to have a str() method using os.strerror(). Or maybe a method with a different name. -- nosy: +haypo ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19624 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue19624] Switch constants in the errno module to IntEnum
STINNER Victor added the comment: This is not so easy issue because the errno module is not pure Python module. ;) An option is to rename the C errno module to _errno and leave it unchanged, and provide a Python errno module which enum API. Then slowly errno module should be used instead of _errno. Using enum for errno should not slow down Python startup time. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19624 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
