Apologies if this has already been discussed.

I don't believe it has ever been discussed to be implemented.

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?

Python doesn't need any more builtin exceptions to clutter the namespace. Besides, what's wrong with just checking the errno?
