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.
