I'd rather not do this. It might cause disasters for code that expects the old semantics. If you want a way to do the "mv" semantics, propose a new API. shutil.move() still offers several things over os.rename(): deleting the target even if os.rename() doesn't (it doesn't on Windows); cross-filesystem moves implemented as copy. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1577> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
