Dima Tisnek added the comment: Benjamin, I think you missed the key point:
file + matching mode -> fd eaten, object created file + mode mismatch -> fd remains, exception raised dir + matching mode -> fd eaten, exception raised The issue is about resouce (fd) management Thus, how can user code handle the error without either leaking file descriptor or possibly closing someone else's file descriptor? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21191> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
