Description (last modified by ManicEatsWorld)

When using the FileSystemStorage.save() functions in a Windows installation of Django with the ​youtube_dl package installed, an error is thrown in locks.py upon trying to unlock the newly stored file:

  Internal Server Error: /
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<<Project base directory removed for privacy>>\venv\lib\site-packages\django\core\files\move.py", line 61, in file_move_safe
    locks.lock(fd, locks.LOCK_EX)
  File "<<Project base directory removed for privacy>>\venv\lib\site-packages\django\core\files\locks.py", line 80, in lock
    ret = LockFileEx(hfile, flags, 0, 0, 0xFFFF0000, byref(overlapped))
ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 6: <class 'TypeError'>: expected LP_OVERLAPPED instance instead of pointer to OVERLAPPED

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Removing the youtube_dl package does immediately resolve this issue. Sadly, youtube-dl is necessary for this project due to a lack of working cross-platform alternatives.

This issue has been recreated with a Windows 10 and a Windows 7 machine using different VENVs.

I do believe this is a bug and have cross-posted an issue at the youtube-dl issue page: ​https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/21545.

Thanks for the report. Puzzled, I'm not sure if there is much we can do, maybe an issue is with django-compressor not with Django (see ​stackoverflow.).
