.. function:: grok_environment_error(exc[, prefix='error: '])
- Generate a useful error message from an :exc:`EnvironmentError` (:exc:`IOError`
- or :exc:`OSError`) exception object. Handles Python 1.5.1 and later styles,
- and does what it can to deal with exception objects that don't have a filename
- (which happens when the error is due to a two-file operation, such as
- :func:`rename` or :func:`link`). Returns the error message as a string
- prefixed with *prefix*.
