Hi Stéphane

Some time ago I had a "permission denied" problem on Windows that I finally
tracked down to os.system duplicating open handles at the creation instance!
The method I used to locate the problem area was by having python fire off
an instance of handle.exe (freely available from www.sysinternals.com) when
the permission error occurred to see what else had the file open.
