Spencer Judge added the comment: Although this is closed, I stumbled across it while looking to see if this behavior had changed at all recently, and I have a suggestion I think might work.
How about we take Tim's example error function which was added to the docs, and it's bound to something like shutil.REMOVE_WINDOWS_READONLY, so it can be used in the following way (probably with a better name): shutil.rmtree("C:/readonlyfilesinhere", onerror=shutil.REMOVE_WINDOWS_READONLY) Good idea? Too weird? ---------- nosy: +sushisource _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19643> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
