Description
I am checking out repositories into a temporary directory, doing various things with them including calling tree(), and then deleting the directories and the temporary directory. This works fine in Linux but not in Windows. I have created this SSCCE to show the issue. I will take some time right now to try to attempt to fix it myself but I like to document my issues first (so others know and just in case someone else sees it and has insight).
Note that I am making an effort (del_rw()) to clear read-only items.
I am testing on:
- Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit (in VirtualBox)
- Python 3.5.2 32-bit
