Antoine Pitrou:
When you say MoveFile is absent, is MoveFileEx supported instead?
WinRT strongly prefers asynchronous methods for all lengthy operations. The most likely call to use for moving files is StorageFile.MoveAsync. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br227219.aspx
Depending on the extent of removed/disabled functionality, it might not be very interesting to have a Metro port at all.
Asynchronous APIs will become much more important on all platforms in the future to ensure responsive user interfaces. Python should not be left behind.
