I don't think so. The key is to remember that shutil.move() is os.rename() with some additional benefits (as stated by Guido in an earlier comment). Also, changing the behaviour of shutil.move() may break backwards compatibility. I thought this issue has reached a conclusion that all one need is a doc update. Some thing like (copying from my previous comment): ""If the destination is a fiile and is on same filesystem as that of src, then simply use rename." In fact, even the issue's component has been changed to "Documentation". __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1577> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
