...Samba is tricky, and I hadn't thought of it before. Normal Windows is case-insensitive but case-preserving, and PyPE uses Python's os.path.normcase(os.path.normpath(os.path.realpath(...))) to do path/file normalization mapping for open files (keeping the non-case-normalized filename), so that you can't really make the mistake of opening the same file twice. This normally works on platforms with consistant case handling, but if you are using Samba running on any non-OSX *nix (whose filename case handling is not like other *nixes) from Windows, there gets to be a bit of a problem as your *nix case handling is different from Windows. I have an idea of what needs to be done, and the fix for it will be in PyPE 2.4.1, which I plan on releasing by June 30th. - Josiah -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
