[New-bugs-announce] [issue18346] Backporting of issue 8828 to Python 2.7

[me21]

New submission from me21:

It would be nice to backport http://bugs.python.org/issue8828 to Python 2.7. For example, Django depends on atomic renames with its file-based sessions, and it still supports Python 2.x.
There was a bug in Django because of this (https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9084), and they ended up with non-atomic workaround.
Some other third-party libraries could be affected as well.
