GH-95815: Document less specific error for os.remove #99571
GH-95815: Document less specific error for os.remove #99571
Conversation
os.remove can raise PermissionError instead of IsADirectoryError, when the object to be removed is a directory (in particular on macOS). This reverts a change done in python#14262.
This PR is the minimal change that makes the documentation reflect reality. An alternative would be to document that the function might raise either IsADirectoryError or PermissionError. I'm not sure which option would be the best fix. |

This looks good to me. Documenting the specific subclasses in this case doesn't seem particularly helpful and probably would just lead to people writing less portable code e.g. if they stop reading after seeing IsADirectoryError
.
