New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com>: During interpreter shutdown, modules can become unusable as module globals are set to None. This is a problem for tempfile.TemporaryDirectory, as it needs working os, os.path and stat modules in order to clean up the filesystem.
The class makes a valiant attempt at reducing the frequency of these errors, but it is ultimately useless, since the three modules internally rely on their various globals remaining valid. Issue #812369 may be a possible solution to this problem, or perhaps even an explicit list of essential modules that are nulled out only after all other modules have been destroyed. ---------- messages: 119505 nosy: ncoghlan priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: tempfile.TemporaryDirectory may throw errors at shutdown _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10188> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
