Surely more convenient than modifying the whole suite. def unlink(filename): try: if os.name == 'nt': os.rename(filename, filename + ".deleted") filename = filename + ".deleted" os.unlink(filename) except OSError: pass

Another solution, probably better:

def unlink(filename): try: os.unlink(filename) except OSError: if os.name == 'nt': try: os.rename(filename, filename + ".deleted") os.unlink(filename + ".deleted") except OSError: pass
