[issue1376] uu module catches a wrong exception type

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

You misunderstand. The try/except is there in case os.stat isn't defined 
or its result doesn't have a st_mode attribute. If the stat operation 
fails due to a problem with the file, there's not much point in proceeding 
since the subsequent open() call would fail the same way.
