I think it should be possible to add a wait=False parameter to rmtree which makes it block until the directory is gone away. This could be similar to the test.support feature added in #15496.
For compatibility, such a flag should default to False, and users need to be aware that this may block "indefinitely". I'd be opposed to specifying a timeout - users who need that can use the non-blocking version, and then loop themselves (or we expose a separate wait function with a timeout).
Of course, such a feature could not be added to 2.7. |
