Alen, the answer to your question is:

The directory "\\temp\\ddir" already exists on the machine.


As for Sphinx, it actually doesn't check raw error numbers. Previously I just shortened the code a bit. The actual code looks like this (only the relevant parts):

# -------------------------------------------------
import os
import errno

EEXIST = getattr(errno, 'EEXIST', 0)

def ensuredir(path):
    """Ensure that a path exists."""
    try:
        os.makedirs(path)
    except OSError, err:
        # 0 for Jython/Win32
        if err.errno not in [0, EEXIST]:
            raise
# -------------------------------------------------

Regardless of the Sphinx issue (which doesn't occur when run in Jython 2.5), in Jython 2.7 the raised exception doesn't look good:

Jython 2.7b1 (default:ac42d59644e9, Feb 9 2013, 15:24:52)
[Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (Oracle Corporation)] on java1.7.0_11
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.mkdir("\\temp\\ddir")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OSError: [Errno 20047] Unknown error: 20047: '\\temp\\ddir'


While on the same machine, with the same JVM the Jython 2.5.3 exception looks like this:

Jython 2.5.3 (2.5:c56500f08d34+, Aug 13 2012, 14:48:36)
