New submission from Felipe A. Hernandez <ergoi...@gmail.com>:
os.rmtree has fd-based symlink replacement protection when iterating with scandir (after bpo-28564). This logic could be greatly simplified simply by os.fwalk in supported platforms, which already implements a similar (maybe safer) protection. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 359512 nosy: Felipe A.
