I seem to remember there is a setting to allow longer paths, but I forget any details. = You mean the "\\?\" prefix? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry That and there's a registry setting: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
