[issue19891] Exiting Python REPL prompt with user without home directory throws error in atexit._run_exitfuncs

[Eric Ongerth]

Eric Ongerth added the comment:

I'm getting the same PermissionError 13:

Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

My case is: I'm running Python 3.4.0 as a non-root user in a docker.io container built on ubuntu 14.04.  This user was created during the creation (Dockerfile) of the container.  The user has a home directory and that directory appears to have the usual/proper permissions.  When I exit the python3 REPL I get this error even if all I did was start python3 from the command line and then immediately exit.

So maybe the cause is other, or more subtle, than just a user with no home dir or home dir with unusual perms?
