:class: attention
CPython used to have a ``socket.error`` exception which is now deprecated,
and is an alias of OSError. In MicroPython, use OSError directly.

Exceptions
----------
.. data:: socket.error
.. data:: socket.timeout
CPython raises a ``socket.gaierror`` exception (OSError subclass) in case
of error in this function. MicroPython doesn't have ``socket.gaierror``
and raises OSError directly. Note that error numbers of ``getaddrinfo()``
form a separate namespace and may not match error numbers from
``uerrno`` module. To distinguish ``getaddrinfo()`` errors, they are
represented by negative numbers, whereas standard system errors are
positive numbers (error numbers are accessible using ``e.args[0]`` property
from an exception object). The use of negative values is a provisional
detail which may change in the future.
