That makes sense, but I wonder what the "right" behaviour should be in this case. Surely the infinite recursion should be fixed at the very minimum. Perhaps the code on Windows could be enhanced to catch the case whereby one is trying to delete the cwd and do something like chdir('..') and then delete the temp folder. However, I suspect that something like this still wouldn't be enough. For example, this works fine ~~~ python def test_chdir(): with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tempdir: old = os.getcwd() os.chdir(tempdir) os.chdir(old) ~~~ whereas this doesn't (same stacktrace as the original case) ~~~ python def test_chdir(): with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tempdir: old = os.getcwd() os.chdir(tempdir) with open(os.path.join(tempdir, "delme")) as fout: fout.write("Hello") os.chdir(old) ~~~ ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42796> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
