Errno 26 depends on your operating system. See "man 2 intro" for details. But on my Mac and on a handle Linux system number 26 is: 26 ETXTBSY Text file busy. The new process was a pure procedure (shared text) file which was open for writing by another process, or while the pure procedure file was being executed an open call requested write access. See the os.strerror function for printing the message from an errno number: http://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.strerror I'd say you're trying to write to a file you shouldn't be writing to. Maybe an executable? Try to get your script to print out the filename of whatever it was trying to overwrite before the open() call. Regarding the characters, I'd say they've been double escaped.
