New submission from Antoine Pitrou:
support.rmtree doesn't work under Windows when there are symlinks (the symlinks
aren't deleted anymore), while shutil.rmtree() works fine:
>>> support.rmtree("@test_2160_tmp")
>>> os.listdir("@test_2160_tmp")
['dirA', 'dirB', 'dirC', 'fileA', 'linkA', 'linkB']
>>> shutil.rmtree("@test_2160_tmp")
>>> os.listdir("@test_2160_tmp")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified:
'@test_2160_tmp'
This breaks the pathlib tests under Windows with symlink privileges held.
