[New-bugs-announce] [issue22961] ctypes.WinError & OSError

[Simon Zack]

New submission from Simon Zack:

The ctypes.WinError function returns:

    OSError(None, descr, None, code)

However OSError does not appear to allow None as a first argument, and converts it to 22 which is the EINVAL "Invalid Argument" error. This is rather confusing as there was no invalid argument errors in the code.

I think the behaviour for one of WinError and OSError should be modified so that the handling of errno is more compatible.
