Python weird file access bug

So I have been tasked with fixing a script, it sends emails from files then renames them with done_ at the start.

 

The weird part is this works fine on my Linux and on my windows 7 VM but when on the VPN (2008 r2) i am getting file is being used by another process, all read/writes are closed as I'm using with open('file') and the renaming is done after the with open.

That is interesting. Is there any way you can figure which process has it locked?

Not actually sure :/ another weird thing is running it from Idle works just fine but running it from CMD causes the error

Are you reading the file by bytes or are they text?

they are text, after it sends an email it uses os to rename the file to done_filename.txt
