[issue1481036] IOBaseError

[Gregory P. Smith]

Gregory P. Smith <greg at krypto.org> added the comment:

I don't think so.

socket.error has been changed to inherit from IOError in 2.6 (and thus
socket.sslerror which inherits from socket.error).

EOFError has not changed.

ftplib.all_errors is already a tuple of (ftplib.Error, socket.error,
IOError, EOFError) which demonstrates the issue...

Anyways there was discussion on python-dev around the time I made
socket.error extend IOError.  Adding a new exception to the heirarchy
was frowned upon.  EnvironmentError is already suitable for that task.

Perhaps EOFError should extend EnvironmentError as well?
