Conversation
To address a `PermissionError` on windows systems when invoking `shutil.rmtree` in `directory_cleaner`, the `onerror` function will change the permissions of the file to allow for write access. This may provide a brief buffer when deleting directories and files recursely due to a possible race condition; if the write permission error is actually present, then the `onerror` logic activates. Else, it serves as a passthrough.

Addresses #116. No further unit testing is needed. Adding build jobs to non-Linux platforms may be required via GH actions for subsequent PRs. |
