Guido van Rossum added the comment: I think we can fix this as follows: whenever it calls os.mkdir() and an error is returned, check if that is EISDIR or EEXISTS, and if so, check that indeed it now exists as a directory, and then ignore the error.
Moreover, I'd like to do this for the ultimate path to be created as well, so that os.makedirs(<existing directory>) will succeed instead of failing. This would make the common usage pattern much simpler. I think it should still fail if the path exists as a file though. (Or as a symlink to a file.) Patch welcome! I think this is a feature request and hence should only be fixed in 2.6. ---------- nosy: +gvanrossum priority: -> low __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1675> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
