R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: Ah, I see, people may be depending on rename on Windows not overwriting.
I suppose a new function (and eventually deprecating the old?) would be the most straightforward way forward, though I dislike the necessity :) An alternative might be a flag on rename: overwrite=['always', 'os_default'], with a warning and a switch of the default in a subsequent release. That's ugly too, of course. The existing per-platform variation in behavior of rename gives us a mess to deal with. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
