Dear sage-devel,
I consistently have a weird thing happen when I empty Trash (on Mac)
that has a Sage I've used in it. Everything goes fine, but I get
about five messages saying
"The operation can't be completed because the item X is in use"
where X is in the set {python2.6, python, time.so, cStringIO.so,
_ssl.so, _socket.so, libz.1.2.3.dylib} or something close (it seems to
slightly change each time).
And sure enough, there is always a PID with python living in the (now
nonexistent) folder where I used to be running Sage. Killing this
process allows me to empty the trash.
Obviously this is not crucial to my computer's performance, but I do
always exit Sage properly, and I think this is probably not ideal to
leave processes (even phantom ones) running on computers. Any ideas
what is going on? I do not know how to replicate it, but it does
happen whenever I've tried to empty Trash with a Sage install I used
for a while in it - not necessarily with one I used only once. This
is on Snow Leopard, but it happened on Leopard too and maybe even
Tiger?
I hope this proves to be useful info.
