eryksun added the comment:
Shouldn't it be checking whether `file` (or `filename`) is a directory [1]? For
example:
except PermissionError:
# This exception is thrown when a directory with
# the chosen name already exists on windows.
if _os.name == 'nt' and _os.path.isdir(file):
continue
# If the directory allows write access, continue
# trying names. On Windows, currently this test
# doesn't work. The implementation assumes all
# directories allow write access, but it really
# depends on the directory's discretionary and
# system access control lists (DACL & SACL).
elif _os.access(dir, _os.W_OK):
continue
else:
raise

[1]: Windows sets the last error to ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED when a system
call returns the NTSTATUS code STATUS_FILE_IS_A_DIRECTORY. This
status code is returned by NtCreateFile and NtOpenFile when the
target file is a directory, but the caller asked for anything
but a directory (i.e. CreateOptions contains
FILE_NON_DIRECTORY_FILE).
