Are the directory or files marked as read only? See this recipe and the comment from Chad Stryker: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/193736-clean-up-a-directory-tree/ "Although it is true you can use shutil.rmtree() in many cases, there are some cases where it does not work. For example, files that are marked read-only under Windows cannot be deleted by shutil.rmtree(). By importing the win32api and win32con modules from PyWin32 and adding line like "win32api.SetFileAttributes(path, win32con.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL" to the rmgeneric() function, this obstacle can be overcome." It might not be your problem, but if it is, this had me stumped for a few weeks before I found this comment! ~Sean -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
