[New-bugs-announce] [issue14848] os.rename should not be used

[Vetoshkin Nikita]

New submission from Vetoshkin Nikita <nikita.vetoshkin at gmail.com>:

When I attempt to remove package with pysetup remove 'package-name' on Fedora 17 - it fails with:
'my-package' cannot be removed
Error: [Errno 18] Invalid cross-device link

strace'ing showed that there was an attempt to call rename from package dir into /tmp which is tmpfs.

Proposed fix is trivial - use shutil.move instead of barebone os.rename.
