[New-bugs-announce] [issue1209] IOError won't accept tuples longer than 3

[Jim Jewett]

New submission from 
					Jim Jewett
				:

EnvironmentError (including subclass IOError) has special treatment when 
constructed with a 2-tuple or 3-tuple.  A four-tuple turns off this special 
treatment (and was used by urllib for that reason).  As of 2.5, a four-tuple 
raises a TypeError instead of just turning off the special treatment.
