PermissionError is subclass of OSError. There are outer possible errors by socket.sethostname() call, so doc is correct. On Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 6:42 PM, Simeon S <simeon.simeonov.s@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
I believe there is a mistake in the type of error raised by socket.sethostname(). The documentation says the error returned is OSError. Here is what I get (3.3.2):
[16:39:sys] % python3 Python 3.3.2 (default, Aug 5 2013, 11:52:10) [GCC 4.5.3] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
import socket as s s.sethostname('bla') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted
