My tentative explanation would be that the directory, namely the inode, still exists -- only the entry for it in its parent directory is gone. So "one level up from here" is still a valid operation, but there is no longer a path in the file system associated with "here". Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
