_rmtree_safe_fd could remove the directory just after the recursive step using the parent's dirfd. Of course you'd also have to add a rmdir for the very-tippy-top after the original call in shutil.rmtree too. But this would prevent the malicious user from even removing empty directories. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4489> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
