The EnvrionmentError hierarchy and common errno test code has bothered me for a while. While I think the namespace pollution concern is valid I would suggest adding "Error" to the end of all of the names (your initial proposal only says "Error" on the end of one of them) as that is consistent with the bulk of the existing standard exceptions and warnings. They are unlikely to conflict with anything other than exceptions people have already defined themselves in any existing code (which could likely be refactored out after we officially define these).
The reason I haven't added "Error" to them is that the names are already quite long, and it's quite obvious that they refer to errors. I'm obviously not religious about it, though :) Regards Antoine.
