New submission from STINNER Victor: Attached patch documents the exception raised when ioctl() or flock() functions fail. Note: flock() can also raises a ValueError if the second parameter (op) is unknown. If the patch is approved, I will write a similar patch for Python 3 (just replace IOError with OSError in Python 3 doc).
