Oh sorry, my bad. I didn't see the mode flag. Do you by any chance happen to
not have the right to create files in the directory you are? What happens
if you use it in /tmp for example?
Still, I hold up to my reasoning: writing files is so essential in python,
and certainly not subject to great - if any - change (after all, it's just
calling the underlying OS functions) that I doubt it is broken.
