[Python-Dev] Documentation strategy for PEP 3151 (original) (raw)

Hello,

I'd like some advice on what the best path is in cases such as:

A :exc:socket.error is raised for errors from the call to :func:inet_ntop.

Should I replace "socket.error" with "OSError" (knowing that the former is now an alias of the latter), or leave "socket.error" so that people have less surprises when running their code with a previous Python version?

Regards

Antoine.
