[issue13146] Writing a pyc file is not atomic

[Barry A. Warsaw]

Barry A. Warsaw added the comment:

I'm re-opening this because I'd like to get RM pronouncement on applying a patch to 2.7, 3.2, and 3.3 to make py_compile.py atomically rename its pyc/pyo file.

Attached is a patch for 2.7 based on importlib's approach in 3.4.  It should be easy enough to port to Python 3.
