: I tried more:

: On Solaris:

:>>> f=open('WWW','r')
:>>> f.read()
: Traceback (innermost last):
:   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
: IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory

: On OS/2:

:>>> f=open('dist','r')   # also a directory
: Traceback (innermost last):
:   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
: IOError: [Errno 60] Message file not found.: 'dist'

: In my original posting I got errorcode 10, like you for an unfound
: file, now 60 for trying to open a directory as a file, so there is
: a hope that the error information doesn't get lost during it's
: handling. :-)

Ok, I get IOError: [Errno 60] OS/2 returned error code 5: 'TMP'
for the directory case.  I'll mail you anything useful I can find.
