[New-bugs-announce] [issue2112] mmap.error should be a subclass of EnvironmentError and not a direct EnvironmentError

[Thomas Herve]

New submission from Thomas Herve:

mmap.error in mmapmodule is a direct reference to
PyExc_EnvironmentError, whereas it should be a subclass. It makes it
provide a specific string representation, and allows to be more specific
when catching exceptions.

The attached patch tries to provide that.
