[New-bugs-announce] [issue18525] Shutil cannot import WindowsError on windows

[Saurabh Gupta]

New submission from Saurabh Gupta:

I've observed that shutil fails to import WindowsError on our windows 7 systems:

    from shutil import WindowsError

    File <file>, line <no>, in <module>
        from shutil import WindowsError
    ImportError: cannot import name WindowsError

The same statement works absolutely fine on linux. Has anyone else come across it too? Do you know how I could fix it?

Python version: 2.6.7
Linux OS: Centos 6.3
Windows OS: Windows 7 Professional x64
