Martin Panter added the comment: I don’t think we patch 3.2 or 3.3 any more unless it is a security concern. That is why I removed them. I understand 3.4 is due for its last non-security release in a couple weeks.
I was actually referring to your original suggestion in <https://bugs.python.org/issue25583#msg254339>, dressed up below: except OSError: # Cannot rely on checking for EEXIST, since the operating system could give priority to other errors like EACCES or EROFS if not (exist_ok and path.isdir(name)): raise There may be practical reasons to continue if a parent directory exists on a read-only FS. Some OSes can mount writable FSes inside read-only FSes. See <https://marc.info/?l=coreutils-bug&m=124770585425870&w=2> involving Cygwin, and <https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120998905229849&w=2> involving a Linux regression. Anyway, I think I am happy with either your last fix or the first, with an appropriate comment, and hopefully also a test case. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25583> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
