[New-bugs-announce] [issue35332] shutil.rmtree(..., ignore_errors=True) doesn't ignore errors from os.close()

[Ronal Abraham]

New submission from Ronal Abraham <ronalabraham at gmail.com>:

These lines throw intermittently for me on AIX when removing a directory on NFS (python version 3.6.6-1), even when "ignore_errors=True":

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.6.6rc1/Lib/shutil.py#L433
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.6.6rc1/Lib/shutil.py#L492

Should there be try-except blocks around these lines and calls to onerror(...)?
