The summary states it fine. shutil.move happily overwrites read-
only files.
It looks like it indiscriminately catches OSError, and never bothers
to check whether it's a permission error.
It'd be nice if permission errors raised an exception that was a
subclass of OSError, then it'd be cake to fix this (at least for
*nices; I'm not sure about the Windows implications).
According to tracker #810879, clobbering read-only files isn't the
desired behavior for shutil.copyfile, so I doubt it's desired for
shutil.move. |
