Content
As a follow-up, it appears that Windows didn't allow truncating hidden or system files since Windows 2000. If you change the flags on .idlerc to hidden in (say) W2k3, IDLE will also fail to start - so it's not a Vista issue. The question is why the folder "sudenly" became hidden - Python has no API to make it so. In any case, the proper solution is to delete the file rather than overwriting it, perhaps like so def save_overwrite_open(fname): try: return open(fname,"w") except IOError: os.unlink(fname) return open(fname,"w")
