[issue28356] Windows: os.rename different in python 2.7.12 and python 3.5.2

[Eryk Sun]

Eryk Sun <eryksun at gmail.com> added the comment:

The documentation of os.rename() should mention that on Windows the "operation will fail if src and dst are on different filesystems". For POSIX, instead of "will" it says "may", but the failure is a certainty in Windows since MOVEFILE_COPY_ALLOWED isn't used.
