Tim Golden <m...@timgolden.me.uk> added the comment: I'm afraid that the problem doesn't lie in the unlink: DeleteFile succeeds. The problem is that the file is only marked for delete until such time as the last SHARE_DELETE handle on it is closed. Until that time, an attempt to (re)create the file for anything other than SHARE_DELETE will fail. As you say, it's a timing issue.
Making os.unlink on Windows more robust may be a good idea, but it's not going to help this issue. See my test-case.py on an earlier message for reproduction: http://bugs.python.org/file16869 TJG ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7443> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
