[New-bugs-announce] [issue46003] os.replace is not cross-platform: at least improve documentation

[nobody]

New submission from nobody <peterpm at xs4all.nl>:

When using threads, os.replace gives no errors on Linux. On Windows however you get PermissionErrors like: '[WinError 5] Access is denied' for os.replace and '[Errno 13] Permission denied' when reading the os.replace file.
The only way I could get this to work was to add retries with delay.
At least the documentation should be improved.
