[New-bugs-announce] [issue28557] error message for bad raw readinto

[David Szotten]

New submission from David Szotten:

Was just tracking down a bug in eventlet, which manifested as "OSError: raw readinto() returned invalid length -1 (should have been between 0 and 8192)"

I was misled for a while by the fact that readinto was in fact returning b'', not -1. This improves the error message in that case by including the TypeError from the failed conversion of b'' to an int.

Would prefer to still return an OSError with the TypeError as a cause, but couldn't figure out how to do that. Hints/help would be appreciated.
