Summary: shutil.move doesn't work when only case changes
Initial Comment:
shutil.move() appears to fail silently when the source and destination
filenames only differ in case (ie "SomeFile" and "Somefile"). This is with
python 2.4.3-18.fc6, on a case-sensitive filesystem (ext3), so this rename *is*
meaningful.

Sorry, my bad. This happened in a FAT volume mounted somewhere in an ext3
tree so the rename wasn't meaningful within the volume. Still doing
shutil.move(source, "__temp__") and shutil.move("__temp__", dest) did
achieve the result I wanted.

This is quite strange.
Gabriel, could you try to use another Python version provided by Fedora,
or
even a self-compiled one?

I guess, this should be very much python 2.4.3-18.fc6 specific. While I
have python 2.3.4, python 2.5, python 2.6a0. I am unable to reproduce this
defect. Having said that, help(shutil.move) mentions about the various
issues of moving the implementation glosses over.
Please provide some more details or anyone with python 2.4.3-18 should be
able to verify it.
