Replying to [comment:11 adrian]:
> In reference to bnewbold's comment above, it's the
[http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-shutil.html shutil module],
and it looks like it's been around since at least Python 2.3. (Django
supports Python 2.3 and up.)
os.rename('old', 'new') does result in an 'invalid cross-link device'
exception when 'old' and 'new' are on different filesystems. It doesn't
make sense to do this, as once a large file has been streamed to disk,
copying to another filesystem is a pointless additional overhead. However,
the code could catch the error, and do a copy and then delete operation
(and generate a warning that the system can be configured more
efficiently).
Or it could use shutil as suggested by a previous poster.
