Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Platform-specific Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: cs_ (cs_) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) >Summary: Portability issue: os.rename behaves differently on win32 Initial Comment: os.rename(src, dst) fails on Windows if dst already exist and regular file. On Unixes, it does not fail, and silently overwrites dst. It's better to use MoveFileEx(src, dst, MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING) when moving regular files under Win32 to make it behave consistent way. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1693753&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
