[PythonCE] Version 2.3

[goodey27 at juno.com]

1) When I try to open a file in Ver. 2.2 that doesn't exist. 

Like this for example:
">>> f = open('my documents\\python\\myfile.txt', 'r')"

I get this Traceback.

"Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "\Program Files\Python\lib\pcceshell.py", line 457, in Interact
    exec codeOb in locals
IOError: [Errno 2] The system cannot find the file specified: 'my
documents\\python\\myfile.txt'"

This Traceback tells me exactly what the problem is.

While in Ver. 2.3  for the same thing I get this Traceback.

"Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "\Program Files\Python\lib\pcceshell.py", line 460, in Interact
IOError: invalid mode: r"

witch doesn't really tell me the problem

2)When I run this code in Ver. 2.2 it works as it should.
But when I run it in Ver. 2.3 I get an I/O error(not the excepted error)
"try:
 f = open('myfile.txt')
 s = f.readline()
 i = int(string.strip(s))
except IOError, (errno, strerror):
 print "I/O error(%s): %s" % (errno, strerror)
except ValueError:
 print "Could not convert data to an integer."
except:
 print "Unexpected error:", sys.exc_info()[0]
 raise"

This is the Traceback I get in Ver. 2.3

"Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "\Program Files\Python\lib\pcceshell.py", line 460, in Interact
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack"

I conclude from all this that something changed about how the Exception
Handling works, and the change is for the worse.
Maybe and hopefully this can be corrected (especially problem #1).

3) I tried to use the file method truncate but I get an error any help
would be appreciated.


Thanks
