Terry, thanks for recording this into the issue tracker.
I'd go even a step further. I think IDLE should not only warn, but
The warning will require a choice, with the default (if one just hits
<Enter>) being to reject the duplicate and go back to the Save-as
dialog. Please add yourself as nosy on the issue so you can comment on
the message whenever I get around to adding a patch.
completely prevent saving a file which shadows a stdlib module, which
will effectively render Python unusable.
That is too authoritarian for Python. As Chris noted, all I can do with
IDLE patches is improve the situation, not solve it.
I remember from a few weeks
back, a teacher with the same problem posted this on the mailinglist.
That involved the additional problem of the working directory being
/windows/system32. This was fixed today for 3.5.1.
Eventually she had a technician coming in to reinstall Windows, just
to fix this problem ;-) What an overkill...
If her classroom budget was not charged for that, that may have been the
cheapest solution *for her*, though not for the school or whoever paid
the tech.
