Process different commands based on error

[pippin418]

Okay, I have this:

if com == 'del':
        rem = raw_input("What file: ")
        rea = raw_input("Really remove %s? (y/n)" % rem)
        if rea in ('y'):
                try:
                        os.remove(rem)
                except OSError:
                        print "That is a directory, del deletes files. Use ddel instead."
                        raw_input("Press ENTER to return.")
                        goto .home
                else:
                        goto .home
        elif rea in ('n'):
                goto .home

Now, don't worry about the goto, I have a module installed for it, and I know you're not supposed to use it... I'm using it on my computer though. Anyway.

In that script you should see the except OSError:, that works great, but there's more than one type of error you can get with it. How can I run different commands based on the different errors? (All of them will be OSErrors)\

Thanks

For your problem:

some_file_name = "whatever"

try:
    os.remove(some_file_name)

except OSError as (errno, strerror):
    # Decide what to do based on error code:
    # File doesn't exist.
    if errno == 2:
        print "Do something..."
    # Trying to delete a directory.
    elif errno == 21:
        print "Do something else..."
    # elif errno = ??: do something else....

else:
    print "LOLWUT?"

Thanks a lot.
