[New-bugs-announce] [issue22182] distutils.file_util.move_file unpacks wrongly an exception

[Claudiu Popa]

New submission from Claudiu Popa:

Hi. When os.rename fails inside distutils.file_util.move_file, the exception is unpacked using ``(num, msg) = e``. While this was valid in Python 2, in Python 3 it should be ``e.args``. The attached patched fixes this.
