Python in a Nutshell

Name

rmtree

Synopsis

rmtree(path,ignore_errors=False,onerror=None)

Removes the directory tree rooted at path. When ignore_errors is true, rmtree ignores errors. When ignore_errors is false and onerror is None, any error raises an exception. When onerror is not None, it must be callable with parameters func, path, and excp. func is the function raising an exception (os.remove or os.rmdir), path the path passed to func, and excp the tuple of information that sys.exc_info( ) returns. If onerror raises any exception x, rmtree terminates, and exception x propagates.
