Charles-François: Certainly I can reduce the iterations to make the test faster. As it is, I did reproduce the failure on my dev system, but only once, after running John's test script about a dozen times: every other time, it completed successfully :-( Isn't it simpler if I just replace the os.path.exists() calls with os.stat(), and check for ENOENT if an exception of type OSError or WindowsError occurs? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14632> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
