Charles-François Natali added the comment: > Actually it does apply on unix:
No, it does not apply: here's what I've written: """ rm -f doesn't mean "ignore permissions", but but rather don't ask confirmation which the rm commands asks in some cases (empty file, directory, etc). """ Having a file non-writable fits in those "some cases" where rm is extra careful and asks confirmation.: calling shutil.rmtree() on your example will succeed, so it does not apply on Unix. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22040> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
