[python-win32] Python Error:WindowsError: [Error 32] The process cannot access the file.

[manu agarwal]

Hi ,

I caught the Exception using this code:

               try:
                  print(file)
                  os.remove(file)
                  continue
               except WindowsError as e:
                  print e
But i am still not able to delete the files it only caught the exception in
the file and then the script terminates.

Please let me know how can i proceed with the rest of the file to delete.

Thanks
Manu
