Hello,
It seems that the os.open API cannot distinguish between a permission error
and the fact that a directory cannot be opened like files.
The following script reproduces the scenario (tested on Python 3.8.2
(tags/v3.8.2:7b3ab59, Feb 25 2020, 22:45:29) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32) :
*import osos.system('mkdir someDirectory')open("someDirectory")*
*Result:*
*Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in
<module>PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'someDirectory'*
Kind regards,
Rami Khaldi
