[issue19643] shutil rmtree fails on readonly files in Windows

[Tim Golden]

Tim Golden added the comment:

Ok, so to move this forward we have essentially two proposals:

1) Add a remove_readonly flag

2) Add a doc example which shows how to use the onerror handler to remove a recalcitrant file.

I'm -0.5 on (1) because it feels like Windows-specific clutter; and +0 on (2).
