I'm no Mac expert, but could it be that OSX is recreating .DS_Store? Try putting this above your os.remove call: import os.stat print 'Last modified:', os.stat(f)[ST_MTIME] Then run your script a few times and see if the modified times are different. You might also try verifying that you get an exception when attempting to open the file right after removing it. --Ben -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
