Why do you think the behavior is broken? It looks right to me - it's not possible to get file information for a file that is scheduled for deletion.

ISTM that rather os.path.exists has non-intuitive behavior; it shouldn't infer from the PermissionError that the file does not exist, but that it is not able to tell.

However, this is not a bug, but documented behavior, see

http://docs.python.org/library/os.path.html#os.path.exists
