Why do we care? For the most part, Linux treats directories as files (if I do a mkdir twice, the error is "mkdir: tmp: File exists". We don't care about the other flags rwx so why should we care about d? Python should avoid adding superfluous checks when it doesn't have to. > Anyways, it doesn't bother me too much. AFAICT, it hasn't bothered anyone. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21784> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
