What do you mean exactly? Another process has re-created "b" in parallel? This race condition is pretty impossible to solve in the general case (unless the filesystem is transactional): even if you call os.listdir() again, a new file or dir could appear just before the following call to os.rmdir(). (just for the record, shutil.rmtree already allows you to delete a filesystem tree) ---------- nosy: +pitrou _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13779> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
