   Have a look in the temporary directory. There should be a subdirectory
called bak containing backups made by PythonWin. The location of the
temporary directory is normally set by the TEMP or TMP environment variable.
If you can't find this then use the search files command to search "Local
harddrives" for the file name you were using.

   Did you run out of disk space? That is one of the best ways to provoke
behaviour like this.
