Antoine Pitrou added the comment: ENAMETOOLONG: that doesn't mean the file doesn't exist. For example, it could be accessed by changing the current directory and shortening the residual path name.
ELOOP: unfortunately it doesn't guarantee that there is a real symlink loop, just that the OS decided to bail out after a certain number of indirections. So in both cases I think we should let the errors bubble up. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22759> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
