How about adding keyword support to OSError and derive the strerror from errno if the second argument is not given? That's not the original behaviour: Python 3.2.2+ (3.2:9ef20fbd340f, Oct 15 2011, 21:22:07) [GCC 4.5.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. e = OSError(5) e.errno e.strerror str(e) '5' I don't mind making this particular compatibility-breaking change, though.
+1 from me. Existing code that just passes errno will now get strerror set automatically, and existing code can't just be passing the errno and filename, since OSError doesn't yet support keyword arguments.
Cheers, Nick.
