I was working on a project and by instinct did a save as with a new name.
It worked fine. So just to test things. I closed out of all python files,
opened idle, opened a new window, tried to save the new window and the
swirling circle came and then the message 'python has stopped working'.
Then everything closes.

Maybe this will help
