This issue persists as of today (March 2019), in Python 3.7.2 (64 bit) running on Windows 10. I gather from the comments that fixing it is no trivial matter, although I don't fully understand why. The hang of "several seconds" that was originally described is at least 30 seconds on that platform -- I'm not sure when it would clear, as I didn't have the patience to wait it out. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55109076/python-tempfile-temporaryfile-hangs-on-windows-when-no-write-privilege It seems to me that a genuine naming collision would be pretty rare -- at least for the (fairly common) use case I'm dealing with, trying to check where the directory is writeable or not. Would it make sense to at least set a default number of collision-retries that is significantly lower? Say, between 3 and 10, instead of the system max? ---------- nosy: +JDM _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue22107> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
