#1 OSError: [Errno 18] Invalid cross-device link

[Denis Konchekov]

In terminal:
$ pyweb.py pyweb.w
<...>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/pyweb", line 1501, in <module>

os.rename( self.tempname, self.fileName )
OSError: [Errno 18] Invalid cross-device link

Workaround is using 'shutils.move( self.tempname, self.fileName )' instead of 'os.rename( self.tempname, self.fileName )'.

The temporary file should be created in the local directory, not the /tmp directory.
