Re: Occasional OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied on Windows

Well, I found a solution to some of these problems. Perhaps this new solution, combined with the sleeping to allow virus-checker,file-indexer,etc. will fix the problem. I opened a file with shelve, and when adding a particular entry found it to be corrupt. On Windows, shelve uses bsddb.hashopen.

Re: Occasional OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied on Windows

I tried something not exactly like this, but in the same spirit. I don't generally have a list of files I want to delete - just one. I try to delete it and if I get errno 13 I sleep for a little while (0.2) and then try again. If the same problem then I add 1 sec to the sleep time and try again.

File attributes may be an issue to. Take look at the recipe at: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/303343 which ensures the file attributes are normal before you delete it. john -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Occasional OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied on Windows

Interesting theory. I do have a virus scanner, and also Google Desktop Search. Sometimes I get this error when running a large suite of unit tests. Each unit test starts off by cleaning the test output directory, and failing if it can't do so. I will see many (hundreds?) tests fail because the
