[issue19643] shutil rmtree fails on readonly files in Windows

[Tim Golden]

Tim Golden added the comment:

The attached patch adds an example to the shutil documentation showing how to use an onerror handler to reattempt the removal of a read-only file. It's deliberately low-tech and simply removes the attribute and retries. If there's some other obstacle, it will continue to fail as it would have done in any case.
