Yes, it's a function

That doesn't help either.
When I've rewrite code something like that:

       with open(backup_file_name, 'w') as backup_file:
               .....
               filter.parse('<updated file name>')
	       del input, output, filter
	os.remove(project.get_vcproj())
	os.rename(backup_file_name, project.get_vcproj())

It triggers WindowsError on os.remove()
