# HG changeset patch # User Augie Fackler # Date 1584558494 14400 # Node ID 6a8738dc4a019da4c9df5c26961aa09d45ce1c68 # Parent 9e63108123a490eb19e96ff72f121e850ea1d3da hg: make _local() behave consistently on Python 3.8 (issue6287) Python 3.8 makes os.path.isfile quietly eat "path invalid" errors and return False instead of allowing the exception to propagate. Given that this is a change from 2018 (sigh) and it's mentioned in the release notes (double sigh) we're definitely too late to complain to Python about the behavior change, so open-code part of os.path.isfile() in this method so we can catch invalid-path errors and handle them appropriately. I confirmed that posixpath and ntpath both delegate to genericpath, which uses os.stat() under the covers.
