+\begin{cfuncdesc}{PyObject*}{PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr}{int ierr}
+ This is a convenience function to raise
+ \exception{PyExc_WindowsError}. If called with \var{ierr} of
+ \cdata{0}, the error code returned by a call to
+ \cfunction{GetLastError()} is used instead. It calls the win32
+ function \cfunction{FormatMessage()} to retrieve the Windows
+ description of error code \var{ierr}, then it constructs a tuple object
+ whose first item is the integer \cdata{ierr} value and whose second
+ item is the corresponding error message (gotten from
+ \cfunction{FormatMessage()}), and then calls
+ \samp{PyErr_SetObject(\var{PyExc_WindowsError}, \var{object})}.
+ This function always returns \NULL. This function is only available
+ on Windows.

+\begin{cfuncdesc}{PyObject*}{PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename}{int ierr,
+ char *filename}
+ Similar to \cfunction{PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr()}, with the
+ additional behavior that if \var{filename} is not \NULL, it is
+ passed to the constructor of \exception{WindowsError} as a third
+ parameter. This function is only available on Windows.

This is a shorthand for \samp{PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError,
\var{message})}, where \var{message} indicates that an internal
