#3148: d.wms cannot move temp file with os.rename

     Type:  defect        |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  7.2.0
Component:  Display       |    Version:  svn-trunk
 Keywords:  wms, display  |        CPU:  Unspecified
 Platform:  Linux         |
--------------------------+-------------------------
 In Python on some Linuces/Unices os.rename won't work when the source and
 target are on different physical volumes. This is a known Python
 limitation in os.rename().


 Solution is import shutil and use that for file moving (=renaming)
 Household tested, works :)

 {{{

 import os
 import sys
 +import shutil
 }}}



 And then:


 {{{
     # os.rename(temp_map, os.environ["GRASS_RENDER_FILE"])
     shutil.move(temp_map, os.environ["GRASS_RENDER_FILE"])

 }}}



 I have no access to dev SVN ( and this is just good like this :) - so I
 post the ticket and solution here.

 I recommend to fix it also back in 7.2 if possible.
