    Python 3.0a5 on Windows Vista SP1

    I installed it to C:\Python30, and used NTFS permissions to protect the
    files in the directory from being changed, also making the whole
    directory read-only. Thus, new files can't be created inside the directory.

    Then:

    1. Type help() in python. Python goes into interactive help mode.
    2. Type "modules fnmatch" in python.

    Result:
    Help quits with the following error:

    IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
    'C:\\Python30\\lib\\lib2to3\\tests\\..\\G
    rammar3.0.0.alpha.5.pickle'

    For detailed error info please see the attached text file.

    Thanks for the report. This should now be fixed with r63643, r63644 and
    r63645.
