this is really weird! it seems that find is able to find the
directories
Here's a minimal way to reproduce the problem:
$ mkdir __pycache__
$ find . -name __pycache__ -exec rm -rf {} \;
find: ‘./__pycache__’: No such file or directory
The trouble is that is that find tries to descend to the directory that
has just been deleted, which of course doesn't work. Appending -prune to
the find command-line fixes the problem:
$ mkdir __pycache__
$ find . -name __pycache__ -exec rm -rf {} \; -prune
$ echo $?
0
