New submission from Walter White <homerun4...@gmail.com>:
shutil.rmtree fails on readonly files in Windows.
Usually people are using the onerror callback to handle file permissions and
retry, but that is not possible in this case because it is not triggerd.
onerror is only triggered if a OSError is found.
In my case the unlink throws a PermissionError
Code shutil.rmdir():
try:
os.unlink(fullname)
except OSError:
onerror(os.unlink, fullname, sys.exc_info())
Traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\Users\user\test.py", line 121, in <module>
