New submission from stephan: Hi,
I am just migrating my code from python 2.7.12 to 3.5.2 on Windows and stumbled on the following difference: In python 2.7.12: os.rename(filepath1, filepath2) works even if filepath1 and filepath2 are on different drives (or one on a local drive, the other on a network share). In python 3.5.2 I get for the same operation: "OSError: [WinError 17] The system cannot move the file to a different disk drive" My question: - is this a bug? - if not, where is this difference mentioned in the docs? I did find nothing, but I think it should be mentioned, otherwise I assume it's a bug. ---------- messages: 278035 nosy: stephan priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: os.rename different in python 2.7.12 and python 3.5.2 type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28356> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
