Billy McCulloch added the comment: I've also run into this bug on Windows. In my case, the tempdir path includes directories on a network share, which I lack write access permissions to. Python tries to generate a *lot* of files, and never figures out it should move on to another directory. The attached patch for tempdir.py resolves my issue.
In _get_default_tempdir() and _mkstemp_inner(), you want to know if the filename you tried to create already exists as a directory, not whether the parent directory is a directory – that's handled in _get_default_tempdir(). In mkdtemp(), attempting to create a directory with the same name as an existing directory does not throw a PermissionError, so the code is superfluous. ---------- nosy: +Billy McCulloch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file42704/master...bjmcculloch_patch-1.diff _______________________________________ 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
