Yeah, I think saying "return True if it provably exists and False if existence cannot be proven (and never raise)" is a good general rule for boolean-returning functions. This definitely raises some edge cases where we can infer from certain error codes that a path exists, but I don't think it obliges us to prioritise fixing those in order to handle more obvious cases. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42855> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
