New submission from Martin Panter:
I encountered this when I added a unit test case that invoked os.chdir() with a
temporary directory on Linux. After the directory was removed, some of the
subsequent test cases failed, although I don’t think they should depend on a
particular CWD.
I suspect the main problem might be code that is trying to dynamically import
modules, and the interpreter is trying to search for modules in the current
directory. I would expect it to happily go on to the other standard module
directories or raise ImportError, just like if the current directory is valid
but empty, or an nonexistent directory is in the module search path list.
Code to set up missing CWD:
import os
from tempfile import TemporaryDirectory
with TemporaryDirectory() as dir:
os.chdir(dir)
Quick recovery:
os.chdir("/")
Examples of failures:
>>> "\N{COPYRIGHT SIGN}"
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: (unicode error) \N escapes not supported (can't load unicodedata
module)
>>> datetime.strptime("", "")

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> from http.client import HTTPConnection
These two also generate the FileNotFoundError
My workaround is to add this to my test case:
self.addCleanup(os.chdir, os.getcwd())
