class AtomicWriter(object):
    '''
    A helper class for performing atomic writes. Usage::

        with AtomicWriter(path).open() as f:
            f.write(...)

    :param path: The destination filepath. May or may not exist.
    :param mode: The filemode for the temporary file. This defaults to `wb` in
        Python 2 and `w` in Python 3.
    :param overwrite: If set to false, an error is raised if ``path`` exists.
        Errors are only raised after the file has been written to.  Either way,
        the operation is atomic.

    If you need further control over the exact behavior, you are encouraged to
    subclass.
