I just checked the link to the diff, Johannes, and the diff says it was
generated on June 5. Can you check to see if you did upload the newest
version to the location?

Sorry, in my haste made a silly mistake. Removed 'self' from
is_destination_in_source definition and uploaded new patch
to previous location.

I applied the attached patch, and got this exception:
>>> shutil.move("a", "a/c")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/src/cvs-src/python/dist/src/Lib/shutil.py",
line 168, in move
if is_destination_in_source(src, dst):
TypeError: is_destination_in_source() takes exactly 3
arguments (2 given)

Here's a patch (with tests) that disallows moving a
directory inside itself altogether. I can't upload patches
to SF, so here's a link to it on my homepage:
