Steve, Thanks for your reply.
Yes. The python program is or was keeping the file open.. This is failing at the commit stage of the program, in checking in the svn data. So how do I go about fixing this? Any help and insight is appreciated.

When I > touch the file, it disappears. The problem here is with NFS, really. The .nfs<blah> files are how the NFS system handles the case where files are deleted on the fileserver but still open on a client. (Under Unix, a file can still be open and all its data accessed even if deleted from the filesystem... it won't *really* go away until it's closed, too. But NFS doesn't represent that case well so a temporary filename is used.) Unless your Python program is what's holding the offending file(s) open... any idea what's keeping the file in use? -- Steve Willoughby | Using billion-dollar satellites [EMAIL PROTECTED] | to hunt for Tupperware. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
