This occurs when trying to load or save a .tsk file on python 2.6:

Fix mentioned here helped (did not test older python versions though)

Also there seems to be a updated fixed lockfile 0.8 (taskcoach has 0.7)

Hi Vlastimil,

Release 0.72.6 will ship with lockfile 0.8 so that should fix this issue.

Cheers, Frank
