Nice. > "The solution? Let's remember that metadata changes are atomic. Rename is > such a case." > Hmmm. Is he referring to the "standard" rename? The blog doesn't evoke a specific function, but if it was the case, then why bother at all? By the way: """ - MoveFileEx() with MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING and MOVEFILE_WRITE_THROUGH flags: not atomic (eg. "If the file is to be moved to a different volume, the function simulates the move by using the CopyFile and DeleteFile functions."), version >= Windows 2000 """ There's exactly the same limitation with the POSIX version (except that it'll fail with EXDEV instead of silently doing the copy+unlink). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8828> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
