Charles-François Natali added the comment: The workaround would be to unlink the file first, and then try to create it with O_EXCL. You have a short window where there's no file, but that shouldn't be a problem in this specific case, and it would work on Windows.
As for issue #17222, well, many applications use temporary files and rename (e.g. most web browsers), so I'd be tempted to say "don't do it". Of course, I would feel kinda bad if Python broke Debian's builders (I don't care about Gentoo though ;-) Its funny how an seemingly harmless change can introduce nasty regressions... ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13146> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
