STINNER Victor added the comment: > Just catch any OSError?
If possible, I would prefer to not retry O_TMPFILE each time if the kernel version does not support the flag. Pseudo-code: -- if o_tmpfile_supported: try: fd = os.open(dir, os.O_TMPFILE | ...) except IsADirectoryError: # Linux kernel older than 3.11 ignores O_TMPFILE flag o_tmpfile_supported = False except OSError: # the filesystem doesn't support O_TMPFILE pass else: return io.open(fd, ...) # fallback to unsafe but portable implementation # current code generating a name and using unlink --- ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21515> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
