CHANGES TO TASK DESCRIPTION
The meaning of [[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/atomic#Adjective|atomic]] here:Pywikibot is a Python-based framework to write bots for MediaWiki ([more information](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot)).
Thanks to work in Google Code-in, Pywikibot now has a script called `download_dump.py`. It downloads a Wikimedia database dump from http://dumps.wikimedia.org/, and places the dump in a predictable directory for semi-automated use by other scripts and tests. It is however not [[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/atomic#Adjective|atomic]]:
> (//computing//) Of an operation: guaranteed to complete either fully or not at all while waiting in a pause, and running synchronously when called by multiple asynchronous threads.
You are expected to provide a patch in Wikimedia Gerrit. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial for how to set up Git and Gerrit.

One implementation is to perform [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_locking|file locking]] on whichever is being downloaded on, and exit with an error if the will-be-written file is locked. Another is to avoid same-filenames entirely.You are expected to provide a patch in Wikimedia Gerrit. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial for how to set up Git and Gerrit.
