Summary: os.remove OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

Initial Comment:
When running the following program I get frequent
errors like this one

Exception in thread Thread-4:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python24\lib\threading.py", line 442, in
__bootstrap
    self.run()
  File "os.remove.py", line 25, in run
    os.remove(filename)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'c:\\docume~1\\joag\\locals~1\\temp\\tmpx91tkx'

When leaving out the touch statement(line 24) in the
loop of the class, I do not get any errors.
This is on Windows XP SP2 with python-2.4.2 (you should
have an exe touch somewhere in you path for this to
work) Can somebody shed any light on this please?

Thanks in advance

Joram Agten

If Python gives you a permission error, that's because
Windows cannot remove the file.  Windows does, in general,
not allow you to remove files that are held open by some
process.

I suggest taking this issue to comp.lang.python.  The bug
tracker is not the right place for code review and other
support issues.
