Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de> added the comment:
The code works as intended and design. The keylog file is created in append-only mode when the file does not exist yet. A missing, inaccessible, or read-only directory or an invalid path raise an exception by design. Errors should not pass silently. The error informs the user of a misconfiguration. Would accept a documentation update and a better error message for missing parent directory. Your proposed workaround is not acceptable. Python would no longer create a new keylog file and user would no longer get a hint that their configuration is wrong. ---------- versions: +Python 3.10, Python 3.11, Python 3.9 -Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46322> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
