Hi,
I am changing from py 2.5 and 2.6 on windows and noticed that  the
shutil.move() function changed from overwriting (in 2.4 and 2.5)  to
non-overwriting the destination file if it exists:

    if os.path.isdir(dst):
        real_dst = os.path.join(dst, _basename(src))
        if os.path.exists(real_dst):
            raise Error, "Destination path '%s' already exists" % real_dst

This behavior is not documented.

best, af
