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 testsupport.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

Funnily enough, that's exactly what the patch I've put together does. Have to look out, though for anywhere which just calls os.unlink rather than going through test_support.
