[issue1186900] nntplib shouldn't raise generic EOFError

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Quick survey of other communication protocol modules:

ftplib: uses EOFError; not documented
http.client: custom IncompleteRead exception
imaplib: custom IMAP4.abort exception
poplib: custom error_proto exception
smtplib: SMTPServerDisconnected exception, subclassing OSError
telnetlib: EOFError is documented
