Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org> added the comment:
Presumably this is linked to issue37515 (why not just repurpose that one?), but I'm inclined to think this is okay provided: * if the operation succeeds, no error/message is displayed * if the operation fails, we only update the error message if one of the special filenames is the target So probably this ought to be a special case in PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename(). And either we need to search the string for the special names or find an API that will clarify it (GetFileAttributes?). I definitely do not want every error message suggesting that this edge case may be the cause, and I don't want to prevent people using these names or purpose for their actual uses. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37517> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
