This autoformatting PR actually changed the behavior of the error handling:
https://github.com/httplib2/httplib2/pull/105/files#diff-c6669c781a2dee1b2d2671cab4e21c66L985

"raise socket.err, msg" is not the same as "raise socket.error(msg)" in the case where msg is an exception. For instance consider:
msg = socket.timeout("foo")
raise socket.error, msg # => socket.timeout: foo
raise socket.error(msg) # => socket.error: foo

This has the effect of potentially changing the type of the error raised by connect(). Interestingly the PY3 copy of the code doesn't have this problem (probably cause it doesn't have msg at all; not sure if it's actually needed but I figured might as well keep it for PY2 in case it is).

The change I propose here will restore the original behavior prior to the autoformat change, and will ensure that both the PY2 and PY3 copies of the code raise the same error type in the event of e.g. a socket.timeout.

some admittedly hacky reproduction instructions (just monkey-patching socket.connect to raise a timeout error):

import socket
import httplib2
h = httplib2.Http(timeout=.001)
def Connect(*args, **kwargs):
  raise socket.timeout("foo")
httplib2.socket.socket.connect = Connect
h.request('http://localhost')

This will raise socket.timeout in Python 3 and in older versions of httplib2 (prior to aa1b95b), but a ResponseNotReady error in Python 2 with the latest httplib2.

raise a or b would work too?

There is only one assignment to msg now. Are you sure semantics didn't change?

Thanks, it's clear now.

Moved msg inline for clarity as well.

Cool - I moved msg inline for clarity, and also applied an identical change to connect() in HTTPSConnectionWithTimeout since I forgot to include that originally. Let me know if anything else is needed.
