Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org> added the comment:

In issue 22759 there was some logic applied for which errors to forward rather 
than hide.

I'm inclined to agree that this one should be hidden, but it may have to be 
done by checking the winerror field rather than the exception type, since other 
PermissionErrors may mean the file is guaranteed to exist (but you can't touch 
it) or that the path exists up to the point where you are not allowed to see.

I'd happily argue that since these permissions indicate that the file does not 
exist *for the current user* and so they should be swallowed more broadly, but 
I'll let Antoine make the call.
