Hi again!

So recompiling (as it was recommended in the mailing list) actually
worked in allowing me to open the encrypted file, and even save at the
beginning. At one point that stopped working. So now my main issue
really is the inability to save encrypted content.

Regarding your 2 workaround: the 1st one went as far as offering me to
enter the passphrase to save, but the opening screen prompt had no
window frame. The 2nd one had a very nice opening window with a frame,
but the saving did not go as far as even prompting a passphrase.

Since I started the program from the command line here are the error
messages:

self._do_save()

the tempfile.mktemp() function was deprecated since version 2.3; it's long ago (nearly 17 years)! It should be removed since it causes security holes, as stated in the tempfile doc (https://docs.python.org/3/library/tempfile.html#tempfile.mktemp).
 ## RuntimeWarning: mktemp() is unsafe. Use NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False).


Hope that can help you... to help me ;-)

Thanks a lot.

Fred
