[Jython-users] IOError differences

[Russo, T. <to...@st...>]

http://www.jython.org/docs/differences.html says:
"Jython uses different values for the IOError argument. This causes trouble
for people who unpack the value into an (errno, message) tuple."

Is there any more documentation on these differences?  I'm getting an
attribute error for __getitem__ in httplib.py:

        except socket.error, v:
            # trap 'Broken pipe' if we're allowed to automatically reconnect
            if v[0] != 32 or not self.auto_open:               # <--- the
error happens here (at v[0])
                raise

and I'd like to correct it.

thanks
