[New-bugs-announce] [issue30265] test.support.unlink() should fail or emit a warning on WindowsError: [Error 32] The process cannot access the file ...

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

While working on issue #30264, I noticed that test.support.unlink() ignores *all* OSError exceptions. I suggest to add handle WindowsError: [Error 32] differently.

Example of such error, issue #15388:

WindowsError: [Error 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process:

I suggest to either raise an exception (passthrough the original OSError), or emit/log a warning.
