[issue9271] Python throws `IOError: [Errno 27] File too large' on long file names

[Jason Gross]

New submission from Jason Gross <jasongross9 at gmail.com>:

On attempting to open files with sufficiently long file names, python throws IOError: [Errno 27] File too large.  This is misleading, and perhaps should be relabeled as 'File name too long.'

I have only tested this on unix with Python 2.5.2.  This error was thrown when I opened /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/j/g/jgross/web_scripts/alphabets/results/turk/armenian_01_A3NOO9K3CY1YU5.cstroke for writing.
