Nick Coghlan added the comment: Since it may not be clear from the rest of the thread, the os.replace() cross-platform atomic renaming building block was added in 3.3 (in #8828, which Victor linked above)
Another stdlib use case now also exists in importlib (see http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3.3/Lib/importlib/_bootstrap.py#l121). However, due to bootstrapping issues, importlib would not be able to use a version that was provided in a module like shutil. ---------- nosy: +ncoghlan versions: +Python 3.4 -Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8604> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
