This PR is try to fix #1665

[JeanChristopheMorinPerso]

Thanks @loonghao for submitting this PR. My main concern right now is speed. Starting a subprocess on Windows usually adds a noticeable overhead.

Could the code first try to os.rename and only fallback to the subprocess method if it's running on windows and the error is "WinError 5" or something like that?

Also, it would be great if you could add tests to cover all cases covered by the change.

@JeanChristopheMorinPerso I have updated the code and added a unit test for this function. Please take another look. Thanks.

Thanks! There is a bug in the code and I think we can add more tests.
