    The following creates an OSError:

    import ctypes
    hasattr(ctypes.windll, 'test')

    The expected behavior would be to return "False"

    ctypes.windll is an instance of ctypes.LibraryLoader, which has a __getattr__ method that calls ctypes.WinDLL(name) and caches the result as an instance attribute. I suppose with chained exceptions it's reasonable to handle OSError in __getattr__ by raising AttributeError. For example:

        class A:
            def __init__(self, name):
                raise OSError
    
        class B:
            def __getattr__(self, name):
                try:
                    A(name)
                except OSError:
                    raise AttributeError

    Demo:

        >>> b = B()
        >>> b.test
        Traceback (most recent call last):
          File "<stdin>", line 4, in __getattr__
          File "<stdin>", line 3, in __init__
        OSError
    
        During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
    
        Traceback (most recent call last):
          File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
          File "<stdin>", line 6, in __getattr__
        AttributeError
    
        >>> hasattr(b, 'test')
        False

    FYI, I recommend avoiding the cdll and windll LibraryLoader instances. I wish they were deprecated because globally caching CDLL and WinDLL instances leads to conflicts between projects that use the same shared libraries.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I am not sure if I understood correctly:
    Do you suggest to modify ctypes.__init__.py so that the __getattr__ method of LibraryLoader catches the OSError and raises an AttributeError instead, as in your example?

    __getattr__ method of LibraryLoader catches the OSError and
    raises an AttributeError

    Yes. It seems no one was keen to work on this. I think it's relatively easy, so I'll add that flag in case someone is looking for an easy issue.

    First patch fixing only the issue at hand on master. LibraryLoader now catches OSError for FileNotFoundError and raises AttributeError.

    * pythongh-85267: Improvements to inspect.signature __text_signature__ handling (python#98796)
    
    This makes a couple related changes to inspect.signature's behaviour
    when parsing a signature from `__text_signature__`.
    
    First, `inspect.signature` is documented as only raising ValueError or
    TypeError. However, in some cases, we could raise RuntimeError.  This PR
    changes that, thereby fixing python#83685.
    
    (Note that the new ValueErrors in RewriteSymbolics are caught and then
    reraised with a message)
    
    Second, `inspect.signature` could randomly drop parameters that it
    didn't understand (corresponding to `return None` in the `p` function).
    This is the core issue in python#85267. I think this is very surprising
    behaviour and it seems better to fail outright.
    
    Third, adding this new failure broke a couple tests. To fix them (and to
    e.g. allow `inspect.signature(select.epoll.register)` as in python#85267), I
    add constant folding of a couple binary operations to RewriteSymbolics.
    
    (There's some discussion of making signature expression evaluation
    arbitrary powerful in python#68155. I think that's out of scope. The
    additional constant folding here is pretty straightforward, useful, and
    not much of a slippery slope)
    
    Fourth, while python#85267 is incorrect about the cause of the issue, it turns
    out if you had consecutive newlines in __text_signature__, you'd get
    `tokenize.TokenError`.
    
    Finally, the `if name is invalid:` code path was dead, since
    `parse_name` never returned `invalid`.

    * pythongh-68320, pythongh-88302 - Allow for private `pathlib.Path` subclassing (pythonGH-31691)
    
    Users may wish to define subclasses of `pathlib.Path` to add or modify
    existing methods. Before this change, attempting to instantiate a subclass
    raised an exception like:
    
        AttributeError: type object 'PPath' has no attribute '_flavour'
    
    Previously the `_flavour` attribute was assigned as follows:
    
        PurePath._flavour        = xxx not set!! xxx
        PurePosixPath._flavour   = _PosixFlavour()
        PureWindowsPath._flavour = _WindowsFlavour()
    
    This change replaces it with a `_pathmod` attribute, set as follows:
    
        PurePath._pathmod        = os.path
        PurePosixPath._pathmod   = posixpath
        PureWindowsPath._pathmod = ntpath
    
    Functionality from `_PosixFlavour` and `_WindowsFlavour` is moved into
    `PurePath` as underscored-prefixed classmethods. Flavours are removed.

    `IPV4_RE` includes a `.`, and the `.find(".") == -1` included here is already testing to make sure there's no dot, so this part of the expression is tautological. Instead use more modern `in` syntax to make it clear what the check is doing here. The simplified implementation more clearly matches the wording in RFC 2965.

    For the record, why was a backwards incompatible change made in just a point release without any deprecation warnings? We can work around this change from throwing OSError to AttrbteError in cdll but why on earth was this change added in a minor release?
