Hi all,

for those of us who use Python's IDLE for developing: there is a known bug in 
Python 3.8.4 (issue 41300) which sometimes prevents saving a script file. Not 
sure whether this is Windows only. To solve this you may
- use another editor
- add a BOM to the file , e. g. via notepad++ but do never submit such files to 
pywikibot repository
- use Python 3.8.3 instead
- or (my preferred solution) modify the related Python 3.8.4 file: look for the 
Python installation. Open the iomenu.py inside Lib/idlelib folder and add the 
line "import io" (without quotes) on top of this file.

Best
xqt
