Andrew Svetlov added the comment: Just keeping the reference to `os.rename()`: https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.rename
Aha, `os.rename` says: "On Unix, if dst exists and is a file, it will be replaced silently if the user has permission." and "On Windows, if dst already exists, OSError will be raised even if it is a file." Sorry, I've missed this. Maybe it worth to add `.. warning:` section for both `os.rename` and `pathlib.Path.rename`? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue27886> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
