New submission from Roger Upole: _mkstemp_inner assumes that an access denied error means that it has generated a filename that matches an existing foldername. However, in the case of a folder for which you don't have permissions to create a file, this means it will loop thru the maximum possible number of files. This causes it to hang for several seconds and eventually return a bogus FileExistsError.
Similar behaviour exists in 2.7.7, but it throws an IOError instead. http://bugs.python.org/issue18849 seems to be where this was introduced. ---------- components: Windows messages: 224304 nosy: rupole priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: tempfile module misinterprets access denied error on Windows versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22107> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
