This commit adds the errno attribute to exceptions, so code can retrieve errno codes from an OSError using exc.errno. The implementation here simply lets `errno` (and the existing `value`) attributes work on any exception instance (they both alias args[0]). This is for efficiency and to keep code size down. The pros and cons of this are: Pros: - more compatible with CPython, less difference to document and learn - OSError().errno will correctly return None, whereas the current way of doing it via OSError().args[0] will raise an IndexError - it reduces code size on most bare-metal ports (because they already have the errno qstr) - for Python code that uses exc.errno the generated bytecode is 2 bytes smaller and more efficient to execute (compared with exc.args[0]); so bytecode loaded to RAM saves 2 bytes RAM for each use of this attribute, and bytecode that is frozen saves 2 bytes flash/ROM for each use - it's easier/shorter to type, and saves 2 bytes of space in .py files that use it (for each use) Cons: - increases code size by 4-8 bytes on minimal ports that don't already have the `errno` qstr - all exceptions now have .errno and .value attributes (a cpydiff test is added to address this) See also #2407.

MicroPython Documentation
The MicroPython documentation can be found at: http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/
The documentation you see there is generated from the files in the docs tree: https://github.com/micropython/micropython/tree/master/docs
Building the documentation locally
If you're making changes to the documentation, you may want to build the documentation locally so that you can preview your changes.
Install Sphinx, and optionally (for the RTD-styling), sphinx_rtd_theme, preferably in a virtualenv:
pip install sphinx
pip install sphinx_rtd_theme
In micropython/docs, build the docs:
make html
You'll find the index page at micropython/docs/build/html/index.html.
Having readthedocs.org build the documentation
If you would like to have docs for forks/branches hosted on GitHub, GitLab or BitBucket an alternative to building the docs locally is to sign up for a free https://readthedocs.org account. The rough steps to follow are:
- sign-up for an account, unless you already have one
- in your account settings: add GitHub as a connected service (assuming you have forked this repo on github)
- in your account projects: import your forked/cloned micropython repository into readthedocs
- in the project's versions: add the branches you are developing on or for which you'd like readthedocs to auto-generate docs whenever you push a change
PDF manual generation
This can be achieved with:
make latexpdf
but require rather complete install of LaTeX with various extensions. On Debian/Ubuntu, try (500MB+ download):
apt-get install texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra
