this is what (I believe) usually causes this for me:
I make a file called 'temp.py' for example in the directory
'c:/python scripts/'
I open it in IDLE to edit it.
I say 'oops, I meant for the file to be in a different directory
so I save the file as 'temp.py' in the directory
'c:/python scripts/7-24-2006/'
now whenever I save changes it saves to the
'temp.py' that's in 'c:/python scripts/7-24-2006/'
but whenever I execute the code it executes
'temp.py' that's in 'c:/python scripts/'

Have you been moving your files or saving them in different directories?
Otherwise, I don't know what your problem could be.
