[sudheesh-sas]

While downloading files, there is an issue where the same file is being accessed by more than one process. Line # 394 for discover.py download( url, outputfile, writeType)

From this.

`def download( url, outputfile, writeType): global responseText r = requests.get(url)

to test retry meachanism force the response status code

#r.status_code=409
#responseText=r.text
r.raise_for_status()
with open(outputfile, writeType) as f:
    f.write(r.content)                 # write data to file`

Modify to:

`def download( url, outputfile, writeType): global responseText r = requests.get(url)

to test retry meachanism force the response status code

#r.status_code=409
#responseText=r.text
r.raise_for_status()
#with open(outputfile, writeType) as f:
#    f.write(r.content)                 # write data to file

# Retry for PermissionError in the open statement
retry_attempts = 5
for attempt in range(retry_attempts):
    try:
        with open(outputfile, writeType) as f:
            f.write(r.content)  # Write data to file
        break  # If the operation succeeds, exit the loop
    except PermissionError:
        if attempt < retry_attempts - 1:  # Don't sleep after the last attempt
            print(f"PermissionError occurred. Retry {attempt + 1}/{retry_attempts} after 1 second.")
            time.sleep(2)  # Wait for 1 second before retrying
        else:
            raise  # If it fails after the max retries, raise the exception`
