[issue8604] Adding an atomic FS write API

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

I'm opposed to adding "atomic" files to the standard library. This has nothing to do with the original issue; anybody contributing to the issue is making up user needs that have not been sufficiently demonstrated.

It would be best to release such code on PyPI first, and wait a few years to see whether there really is an end-user demand for the feature.
