Partially so it seems. However, my testing with Process Monitor (from sysinterals) shows that most of the access denied errors occur when removing directories. The blind rename-remove dance doesn't work when removing entire directory trees as now the renamed file/directory might be held pending delete when the removing parent directory. For some background for newcomers, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/159199 For testing, I used regrtest -F -j6 test_import Without patching it would fail consistently (albeit randomly). ---------- nosy: +jeremy.kloth _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15496> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
