I have that file indeed :

You use the GUI to show files - you don't see enough, like the file creation date.
That said, your file, and mine, have the same size, so I guess it's ok.If you think the issue is soved, don't forget to empty the py_error.log file; :

@Gertjan Well, that is important to do; of course it is going to persist without deletion. I am going to do an update and see if it is fixed.

@The-Party-of-Hell-No Well, this seemed to work! After the update, the error did not come back.
