[New-bugs-announce] [issue30641] No way to specify "File name too long" error in except statement.

[Max Staff]

New submission from Max Staff:

There are different ways to catch exceptions of the type "OSError": By using "except OSError as e:" and then checking the errno or by using "except FileNotFoundError e:" or "except FileExistsError e:" or whatever error one wants to catch. There's no such way for above mentioned error that occurs when a filename is too long for the filesystem/OS.
