A LBYL won't always raise errors early as you point out. It will give earlier warnings for a lot of cases, but makes contextlib.chdir usable in less places than os.chdir. Some return paths will always be errors, and some will be technically recoverable but too difficult to detect and or fragile. That's why I think any solution should incorporate the `ignore_errors` flag. Its pretty ugly to wrap a context manager in a try: except: just because you were trying to clean up after whatever you were doing but the cwd changed in unexpected ways, maybe out of your control. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45545> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
