In 3.3+ you can use os.replace. For POSIX systems it's functionally
the same as os.rename. pyosreplace [1] backports os.replace for 2.6,
2.7 and
Python 2.7.11 on Windows 7 Enterprise (64-bit machine, 32-bit Python) and two
Windows Server 2012 R2 (64-bit machines, both 32-bit and 64-bit Pythons):
183
17
WindowsError(183, 'Cannot create a file when that file already exists')

Any Windows users here?
According to the documentation, os.rename(original, new) will fail if new
already exists.
Would somebody be kind enough to tell me what OSError is raised? In
particular:
# Untested.
import os
open('a123.junk', 'w')
open('b123.junk', 'w')
try:
os.rename('a123.junk', '
