Mart Sõmermaa <m...@mrts.pri.ee> added the comment: A blunt, ineffective solution would be to walk the tree before removing it and recording path : inode pairs in a dict on first pass and then checking that the inodes have not changed during removal on second pass.
If no clever bulletproof fix emerges, perhaps this should be added as shutil.rmtree_safe (duh, API bloat...)? _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4489> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
