[issue15872] shutil.rmtree(..., ignore_errors=True) doesn't ignore all errors

[Alessandro Moura]

Alessandro Moura added the comment:

Yes, confirmed. When checking whether the provided path is a directory, rmtree does not check whether ignore_errors is set. According to the docstring, "If ignore_errors is set, errors are ignored". Presumably this means any error, in which case this is not the desired behaviour.

The attached patch fixes this.
