[New-bugs-announce] [issue16169] ctypes.WinError() confuses errno with winerror

[Richard Oudkerk]

New submission from Richard Oudkerk:

ctypes.WinError() is defined as

    def WinError(code=None, descr=None):
        if code is None:
            code = GetLastError()
        if descr is None:
            descr = FormatError(code).strip()
        return WindowsError(code, descr)

Since WindowsError became an alias for OSError, this means that if e is the exception raised, e.errno == GetLastError() and e.winerror == None.

I think the last line should be

        return WindowsError(None, descr, None, code)
