Clarification: I'm -3 on the exception. Silent failure to make the
__pycache__ would do, and may be better than silently making a useless
(unwritable) one.
How about:
made_it = False
ok = False
try:
if not isdir(__pycache__dir):
mkdir(__pycache__dir)
made_it = True
write pyc content ...
ok = True
except OSError, IOerror etc:
if not ok:
os.remove pyc content file
if made_it:
rmdir(__pycache__dir) but be quiet if this fails,
eg if it is not empty because another process or thread
added stuff
So silent tidyup attempt on failure, but no escaping exception.
Cheers,
