ESASky get_images Leaves Chandra Images open? about astroquery

[keflavich]

I'm not sure, but this could be a Windows issue? This path:
'Maps/CHANDRA/acisf04963N004_full_img2.fits'
uses /'s, while windows uses \'s for its path specification. This might be a bug in how directory_path is generated.

Thank you for the quick reply @keflavich

I should also add that, after the code runs and I receive the error, I can't go to the folder and delete the Chandra image file. It gives me an error saying the file is in use by another program. It's only after I either restart the notebook's kernel, or shut the notebook down, that I can delete the image file. (Sorry I didn't include that before)

Update:

I can confirm that it is 'a windows thing' but I don't believe it has to do with the path.

To check and see if the path's slashes were causing the problem, I replaced them with double backslash, and received the same error.

"OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: 'Maps\CHANDRA\acisf04963N004_full_img2.fits'"

With the error remaining, and since everything worked fine with XMM images, it seems like the path is working fine.

Then I went into an Ubuntu VM, and everything worked just fine. I don't know if there could be something specific about the Chandra image structure, or the method used to obtain/store them?
