_os.rename() fails under Windows #104

In feeds.py the updating of the config and database files fails under Windows because the rename of the temporary updated files to the originals fail, because the original files still exist. I assume this rename succeeds under *nix, but Windows requires a preceding _os.remove() of the existing file, which resolved the problem for me, e.g., _os.remove(dst_config_file) before _os.rename(tmpfile, dst_config_file)

Hello,

This repository has been deprecated for a few years now, and has been replaced by https://github.com/rss2email/rss2email .

If this issue is still relevant to you, and not fixed with v3.12.2, could you please reopen the issue there?

Cheers, Leo
