Error writing lock file on Bash/nano using Python on Windows 10

I use

$ sudo nano first.py

$ nano first.py

to start a new nano file (in Python), while using Bash on Windows 10, but the file won't save.

The error I get when I try to save the file is:

[ Error while writing first.py: Access denied ]

Any ideas? I cannot find answers anywhere on the Internet.

bash
python
nano
git-bash

1(1) As a matter of nomenclature, you’re not starting a new nano file in Python, you’re creating a new Python file in nano. (2) More importantly, what directory are you in when you do this? Does a first.py file already exist? What happens if you type > first.py? Please do not respond in comments; [edit] your question to make it clearer and more complete. – Scott – 2017-09-24T12:19:26.200
