[New-bugs-announce] [issue43035] FileNotFoundError in distutils\file_util.py copy_tree

[Karthik Nishanth]

New submission from Karthik Nishanth <karthik.nishanth at zivid.com>:

I am making a bdist_wheel for a private python binary module.

`python setup.py bdist_wheel` fails on a very specific windows VM repeatedly. This works fine on both a regular windows machine & linux machines.

Attached the complete distutils verbose logs.

Stacktrace for quick search:

---------------------------------------------

I may get an [Errno 2] on open(dst, 'wb') if dst has a directory component that does not exist. But distutils logs already say 

> creating dir1
> creating dir1/dir2
> creating dir1/dir2/dir3

so I assume the directories must have been created before calling open().
