Raising a specific OSError

[David Hirschfield]

I wasn't clear enough in my original post.

I know how to raise a basic OSError or IOError, but what if I want to 
raise specifically an "OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory"?
Somehow it must be possible to raise the error with the correct 
information to bring up the standard message, but where do I find the 
right values to give?

Thanks,
-Dave
