Richard Oudkerk added the comment: Note that on Windows if you redirect the standard streams then *all* inheritable handles are inherited by the child process.
Presumably the handle for f_w file object (and/or a duplicate of it) created in one thread is accidentally "leaked" to the other child process. This means that shutil.rmtree() cannot succeed until *both* child processes have exited. PEP 446 might fix this, although there will still be a race condition. ---------- nosy: +sbt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19575> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
