[issue3002] shutil.copyfile blocks indefinitely on named pipes

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

I'm not sure the race condition possibility is important. Is
shutil.copytree() protected against such race conditions in the first place?

(I'd argue this bug is less about potential DOS attacks than the simple
unfriendliness of indefinitely blocking)
