Summary: shutil.copyfile fails when dst exists read-only

Initial Comment:
(WIN32):  shutil.copyfile fails when the dst file already 

exists, but in read-only mode.  As the old file is

about to be

clobbered, a fix I've been using is to delete the

orginal file

first.   The attached my be inelegant, but works fine

There's no uploaded file!  You have to check the

checkbox labeled "Check to Upload & Attach File"

when you upload a file.



Please try again.



(This is a SourceForge annoyance that we can do

nothing about. :-( )
