My fault. I tested it only partially, relying on the documentation that says

"""
On Windows, if dst already exists, OSError will be raised even if it is a file
"""
Actually it does not (at least at my Windows 7):
(Pdb) os.path.isfile(src)
True
(Pdb) p os.rename(src, src)
None

Am I doing something wrong?
