delete will assure file is deleted?

On Wed, 27 Apr 2005 17:28:04 +0200, rumours say that "Fredrik Lundh"
<fredrik at pythonware.com> might have written:

Yep, you're right (you wouldn't be a bot otherwise, right?-)

BTW I remember a post last summer about subclassing OSError (found it:
http://groups.google.com.gr/groups?selm=87llgxuyf5.fsf%40pobox.com --not
exactly what I remembered, but close.)

I think throwing subclasses of OSError based on errno would make life
easier --always assuming that Python requires POSIX conformance on all
platforms.  I will give it a try RSN...
