Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: I see that Sun/Oracle Java trusts MoveFileEx to do atomic renames:
290 // atomic case 291 if (atomicMove) { 292 try { 293 MoveFileEx(sourcePath, targetPath, MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING); 294 } catch (WindowsException x) { 295 if (x.lastError() == ERROR_NOT_SAME_DEVICE) { 296 throw new AtomicMoveNotSupportedException( 297 source.getPathForExceptionMessage(), 298 target.getPathForExceptionMessage(), 299 x.errorString()); 300 } 301 x.rethrowAsIOException(source, target); 302 } 303 return; 304 } (from http://www.docjar.com/html/api/sun/nio/fs/WindowsFileCopy.java.html ) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8828> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
