you probably should consider:

    os.unlink(tempFileName)
    self.SaveFile(tempFileName)
    os.unlink(bakFileName)
    os.rename(fileName, bakFileName)
    os.rename(tempFileName, fileName)

where tempFileName is a file in the same directory as
fileName.

(adding the right try/excepts are left as an exercise)
