[New-bugs-announce] [issue42014] shutil.rmtree calls onerror with different function than failed

[Michal Čihař]

New submission from Michal Čihař <michal at cihar.com>:

The onerror callback is called with os.lstat when the actual failing function is os.open.

To reproduce create directory that can not be listed:

import os
import shutil

def onerror(func, path, exc_info):
    print(func)

os.mkdir("test")
os.chmod("test", 0)
shutil.rmtree("test", onerror=onerror)
