That looks like a great solution.  Of course, once it's in testsupport, we need to fix all file removals in the test suite. ;-) Steve

Why not just modifying test_support.unlink() like this? Surely more convenient than modifying the whole suite.

def unlink(filename): try: if os.name == 'nt': os.rename(filename, filename + ".deleted") filename = filename + ".deleted" os.unlink(filename) except OSError: pass
