[New-bugs-announce] [issue20384] open() exception doesn't contain file name on Windows

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

On Linux for 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4 the open of non-existing file raises an exception which contains file name.

Python 2.7:

>>> open('non-existing', 'rb')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'non-existing'
>>> import io
>>> io.open('non-existing', 'rb')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'non-existing'

Python 3.3 and 3.4:

>>> open('non-existing', 'rb')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'non-existing'

On Windows for 2.7 and 3.4 raised exception also contains file name. But on 3.3 error message is only "[Errno 2] No such file or directory" and doesn't contains file name.

This change affects tests. test_tarfile failed on all Windows buildbots for 3.3.

I suppose this is 3.3 bug.
