You still haven't gotten rid of those illegal colons in the filename. They're not legal in Windows, as has been pointed out a couple of times in this thread.
Ummm.. Colons are of course legal in Windows filenames as designating the Alternate Data Streams: <code> with open ("c:/temp/test.txt", "w") as f: f.write ("base text") with open ("c:/temp/test.txt:blah", "w") as f: f.write ("ADS text") print open ("c:/temp/test.txt:blah").read () </code> On the other hand, though, you can't have more than one of them: <code> with open ("c:/temp/test.txt:blah:blah2", "w") as f: f.write ("ADS text2") </code> should raise an error.
