Unfortunately, as described it wouldn't match IOError(32, 'Blah blah blah').
Also it's a bit magical -- normally one doesn't expect Haskell-like pattern matching in Python.
Maybe something more explicit would be better:
try: ... except IOError as e with e.errno == 32: ...
Then we're back where we started in which case I prefer 'if' as the keyword.
