Todd Rovito added the comment: While writing test cases I discovered another conflict with the documentation. The phrase "On Unix, if dst exists and is a file, it will be replaced silently if the user has permission and src is a file." is not correct. According to the test cases I wrote in the attached patch see the method test_rename_src_file_dest_file_exists in the class FileTests the destination file is not replaced and the source file actually is removed. I will seek advice from Python Core Mentorship to see if this is a bug or normal behavior.
First time writing test cases so I hope I am on the right track. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file27804/OSRename_test_os.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16278> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
