Issue #8604 aims at adding an atomic file API to make it easier to create/update files atomically, using rename() on POSIX systems and MoveFileEx() on Windows (which are now available through os.replace()). It would also use fsync() on POSIX to make sure data is committed to disk. These make it quite OS-specific.
That'll happen when solving problems on different OSes. Do you propose a more platform agnostic solution?
