Aaron Swan added the comment: Although using the mv command *does* remove the src file on red hat linux, I can accept that the POSIX requirement that the source *must* be removed might not apply if source is the same as the destination file.
It would be nice if the behavior was consistent, but I think the POSIX requirements are somewhat up for interpretation in this case. The documentation should probably be updated at the least. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21876> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
