How about - It uses :func:`os.rename` to perform the move. If that fails, for example because src and dst are on different filesystems or in case of Windows where rename cannot be done if dst exists, fallback to copying src (with :func:`copy2`) to the dst and then removing src. ---------- nosy: +orsenthil _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12577> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
