I'm actually running both... but I would think that once os.remove returns that the file is actually gone from the hdd. Why would either application be blocking access to a non-existent file? Of course, my thinking is obviously wrong since I do get the permission problem... I will definitely try disabling those. Now if only I could reproducably repeat it to make testing easier. :( Another thing is that I certainly do want the code to work in the presence of such tools. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
