New submission from Kevin Kuan <kevin.kuan.tr...@gmail.com>:
Hi,
I would like to report bug for os.makedirs().
I am running this script on Windows 10 1909 (most win10 work), python 3.8.1.
os.makedirs() is making explorer.exe huge amount of memory and crashing the
system after only 3 hours.
After changing that line to subprocess.run('mkdir ...') memory usage is reduced
significantly.After changing all shutil functions as well, memory usage will
not grow.
(This is my first time community contribution. If anything, please let me know.)
