[issue25473] socket.recv() raises correct code with the misleading description 'BlockingIOError: [Errno 11] Resource temporarily unavailable'

[Benjamin Peterson]

Benjamin Peterson added the comment:

This is simply the way glibc defines the error messages.

% python3
Python 3.4.3 (default, Sep 27 2015, 15:15:25) 
[GCC 4.8.5] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import errno, os
>>> errno.EAGAIN, errno.EWOULDBLOCK
(11, 11)
>>> os.strerror(errno.EAGAIN)
'Resource temporarily unavailable'
