Good point, I completely misread that. At least the Windows error code is still available as the winerror attribute. As an aside - call me stupid, but I don't quite follow the purpose of that errno mapping. Surely if the error number can be mapped successfully then the error isn't Windows specific and an OSError should logically be thrown instead? And if it can't be mapped successfully then errno will never be valid so the mapping is pointless? I guess if the mapping is imprecise then it makes some sense as errno is a convenience to avoid people having to grasp the meaning of the many and various winerror.h values. So perhaps I've answered my own question.
