in lib/test/test_os.py, there is a test class, Win32ErrorTests, that
tests that certain functions return a WindowsError on failure. And
indeed they do that, but that is in contradiction with the
documentation. From the 2.6 docs:
Note
All functions in this module raise OSError in the case of invalid or
inaccessible file names and paths, or other arguments that have the
correct type, but are not accepted by the operating system.

WindowsError is a subclass of OSError, so it's not entirely
contradictory, just a little misleading... :-)
