Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org> added the comment:

In general, if a bug here appears to be inactive, it's probably waiting on 
someone to volunteer to move it forward. Often merely posting to a thread is 
enough.

For this case, I think the best thing we can probably do is change the default 
share mode for _all_ opens to include FILE_SHARE_DELETE. This would also help a 
number of other situations, as well as bringing the default Windows behaviour 
slightly more in line with how POSIX likes to do things.

As far as I'm aware this would only be harmful in cases where people are trying 
to implicitly lock files on Windows by keeping an open handle, and are using a 
different code path on other platforms where that won't work.
