An alternative would be to add a "strict" parameter that defaults to False. In non-strict mode, map all OSError exceptions to a False return value. In strict mode, use _ignore_error(e) to determine whether to return False or propagate the exception. The question then is whether to add ERROR_INVALID_NAME (123) to _IGNORED_WINERRORS since the error means the name can never exist. On the other hand, ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED due to a permission error would be propagated in strict mode -- because the path's existence is unknown. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42855> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
