[issue5993] python produces zombie in webbrowser.open

C.A.M. Gerlach added the comment: I can verify that this still occurs on Linux under an up to date Python 3.9 env (unknown browser; I can inquire), while on my Windows machine running an essentially identical Python 3.9 env, I don't get the warning. The practical problem arises when we

[issue32592] Drop support of Windows Vista and Windows 7

C.A.M. Gerlach added the comment: In my limited understanding, all PR #15951 does is set a compiler macro to allow use of Win API calls present on >=Win8 instead of >=Win7. If Win8-only calls are not used, then presumably it should still build and run on Windows 7, presumably with th

[issue25024] Allow passing "delete=False" to TemporaryDirectory

C.A.M. Gerlach added the comment: To note, the proposal on [BPO-29982](https://bugs.python.org/issue29982) should hopefully address one of the two use-cases described by Anthony Sotittle, `ignore_errors=True`, in a cleaner fashion that takes advantage of the existing higher-level

[issue29982] tempfile.TemporaryDirectory fails to delete itself

C.A.M. Gerlach added the comment: In addition to transient failures, this can also occur when, for example, files opened in the temporary directory (perhaps by library or application code not under direct control of the caller) haven't been properly cleaned up and their file handles don't

C.A.M. Gerlach added the comment: Sorry for the lack of response on this one; it just slipped off my radar. It seems quite clear that my understanding was incomplete as to why the signatures were expressed this way. As such, I presume this can just be closed as NOTABUG? I'll close in a week

New submission from C.A.M. Gerlach : Not sure how to categorize this one, or if this should even be a bpo. Currently, the .travis.yml config file still has a sudo: false key, which previously triggered the Container-based environment on Travis. However, that was removed in December 2018

New submission from C.A.M. Gerlach : I propose changing tarfile.DEFAULT_FORMAT to be tarfile.PAX_FORMAT , rather than the legacy tarfile.GNU_FORMAT for Python 3.8. This would offer several benefits: • Removes limitations of the old GNU tar format, including in max UID/GID values and bits
