[New-bugs-announce] [issue20093] Wrong OSError message from os.rename() when dst is a non-empty directory

[Jason Gerard DeRose]

New submission from Jason Gerard DeRose:

Under Python 3.3, if renaming a directory with `os.rename()` when the destination is an existing, non-empty directory, like this:

os.rename('/tmp/foo', '/tmp/bar')

You'll get an OSError with a message like this:

OSError: [Errno 39] Directory not empty: '/tmp/bar'

However, in the current Python 3.4.0b1 package in Ubuntu Trusty, this error message will contain the source directory name instead of the destination directory name, like this:

OSError: [Errno 39] Directory not empty: '/tmp/foo'

I've attached a test case, which also covers renaming directories relative to an open directory descriptor. This test case works on Python 3.3, fails on Python 3.4 Beta1.
