[New-bugs-announce] [issue12437] _ctypes.dlopen does not include errno in OSError

[Matt Joiner]

New submission from Matt Joiner <anacrolix at gmail.com>:

_ctypes.dlopen is not including the errno when it raises OSError.

This occurs when attempting to load a library that doesn't exist, the error string given is clearly generated from an ENOENT.

joiner at dbssyd800:~$ python3 dlopen_raise.py
None
somelib.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
