Comment(by davidsarah):
For _auto_deps.py and the docstrings in server.py, I just followed the
conventions already used in those files.
The line endings should indeed be fixed.
{{{import win32api, win32con}}} also violates PEP 8, although I can't
actually see the reason for that style constraint.
Re: error handling -- I assume you mean, why '''don't''' we treat a
failure in the system call in the same way as not having an API? The
reason is that not having an API is not an indication that there is
anything wrong; just that the platform has a limitation that means we
can't implement space checking.
If the platform does have the API, OTOH, then we're supposed to be
enforcing space checking, and an admin may be expecting that we do. So a
system call failure should be treated as an error in that case, as
suggested by Zooko in comment:6.
