I don't think a general developer would expect that open('/path/to/file/somename.txt') implies a directory operation, and it also doesn't on Windows. I suggest that a further notice be added to NotADirectoryError, such as: Raised when a directory operation (such as os.listdir()) is requested on something which is not a directory. Corresponds to errno ENOTDIR. In some filesystem such as POSIX, NotADirectoryError (ENOTDIR) is raised when attempting to open a path whose ancestor is not a directory. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41737> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
