Am currently being very confused over the following code on Windows
import subprocess, os
file = open("filename", "w")
try:
proc = subprocess.Popen("nosuchprogram", stdout=file)
except OSError:
file.close()
os.remove("filename")
This produces the following exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\processown.py", line 10, in <module>
os.remove("filename")
WindowsError: [Error 32] The process cannot access the file because it
is being used by another process: 'filename'
How can it be in use by another process? The process didn't even
start, right?
Would appreciate some help: is this a Python bug, or a Windows bug, or
just me being confused...?
