Disk access going mental with Pythonwin?

Ummm - sheepishly, I admit that would be Pythonwin.  Pythonwin has a
feature that automatically detects if the file you are editing has
been modified externally.  This check is done in idle time, and each
time you move the
mouse (then stop moving it), Pythonwin enters its idle state.

I really should add a config option to control this, but currently it
is always turned on...

If you like, I could assist in hacking the .py files in Pythonwin to
disable this all together (basically, find  "def
_AddReloadIdleHandler(self):", comment out the single line, and add a
"pass" - probably in pywin\framework\editor\editor.py (but depends on
the pythonwin version)

Mark.
