Probably not. This is not a Python issue, but a problem with your operating system and hard drive's file system. If your file is called (let's say) "myfile.py", you could look for a file called "myfile.py~" which may contain a backup, or possibly a previous version. But unlikely. By the way, what's "error 40"? Is that a Windows thing? -- Steve _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
