Windows error 13 permission denied

In python, I am currently experimenting with what I can do with open command. I tried to open a file, and got an error message. Here’s my code:

open(r'C:\Users\****\Desktop\File1')

My error message was:

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\****\\Desktop\\File1'

I looked on the website to try and find some answers and I saw a post where somebody mentioned chmod. 1. I’m not sure what this is and 2. I don’t know how to use it, and thats why I’ve come here.

For future searchers, if none of the above worked, for me, python was trying to open a folder as a file.

Check at the location where you try to open the file, if you have a folder with exactly the same name as the file you try to open (the file extension is part of the file name).

Your user don’t have the right permissions to read the file, since you used open() without specifying a mode.

Since you’re using Windows, you should read a little more about File and Folder Permissions.

Also, if you want to play with your file permissions, you should right-click it, choose Properties and select Security tab.

Or if you want to be a little more hardcore, you can run your script as admin.

If nothing worked for you, make sure the file is not open in another program. I was trying to import an xlsx file and Excel was blocking me from doing so.

The problem here is your user doesn’t have proper rights/permissions to open the file this means that you’d need to grant some administrative privileges to your python ide before you run that command.

As you are a windows user you just need to right click on python ide => select option ‘Run as Administrator’ and then run your command.

And if you are using the command line to run the codes, do the same open the command prompt with admin rights. Hope it helps

If you have this problem in Windows 10, and you know you have premisions on folder (You could write before but it just started to print exception PermissionError recently).. You will need to install Windows updates… I hope someone will help this info.

The Reason most of the time is because the file security is set to not modify or write to normal users

To enable Full control to Users

right-click the file, choose Properties and select the Security tab. Then Users then Edit, select Users then

Check Full control

I am struggling to mount a windows 2008 share on a CentOS 6.4 (64 bits) server

when I use smbclient it works:

smbclient  //esb.local/dfs -U ESBSertal -W ESB -P MyPassword

but with mount it does not. I tried on the command line:

mount.cifs //esb.local/dfs -o username=ESBSertal,password=MyPassword,domain=ESB /mnt/win

and adding a line to /etc/fstab

//esb.local/dfs /mnt/win cifs username=ESBSertal,password=MyPassword,domain=ESB 0 0

in both cases I get the same error:

mount.cifs //esb.local/dfs -o username=ESBSertal,password=MyPassword,domain=ESB /mnt/win
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

and for fstab

mount -a
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

I am grateful for your support.

just an update: this is executed as root. neither as root nor sudo work

Ошибка 13: Отказано в доступе в Python — это ошибка ввода-вывода, которая возникает, когда система не может связаться с вашим кодом для выполнения желаемой операции. Причины включают попытку доступа к несуществующему файлу, уже открытому файлу, открытие каталога в виде файла или наличие неправильных разрешений. Есть несколько способов исправить эту ошибку, например, закрыть другие экземпляры файла, обновить разрешения, убедиться, что вы не обращаетесь к каталогу, и использовать блоки try-except для обработки ошибок.

Ошибка очень проста, как показано ниже:

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

Ошибка ввода-вывода — это тип ошибки времени выполнения. Ошибки во время выполнения вызваны неправильными форматами ввода или когда код не может произвести вывод.

Поскольку в коде нет синтаксических ошибок, интерпретатор Python интерпретирует код, компилирует его, но при выполнении не может разобрать отдельные операторы или выполнить их.

Распространенные причины ошибок ввода/вывода (отказ в доступе)

Ввод, вывод ошибки вызываются несколькими причинами. Некоторые из них:

  • Наиболее распространенной причиной ошибки ввода-вывода является отсутствие указанного файла.
  • При попытке read() или open() файл, система не может взаимодействовать с кодом, если файл уже открыт в другом месте.
  • Если вы пытаетесь открыть каталог вместо файла, но пытаетесь открыть его как файл, это вызовет ошибку ввода/вывода.
  • Если в пути к каталогу есть косая черта, это также может вызвать ошибку ввода-вывода.
  • Если у вас нет разрешения на открытие этого конкретного файла или если Python не имеет доступа к определенному каталогу.

Существует очень подробная статья об ошибках ввода-вывода Python на сайте ask python, вы можете ознакомиться с ней здесь!

Эта ошибка может быть исправлена ​​несколькими способами. Они есть:

  • Убедитесь, что вы правильно пишете файл и не используете путь к каталогу.
  • Убедитесь, что разрешения обновлены, прежде чем пытаться получить доступ к файлу.
  • Путь к файлу должен быть указан без ошибок, таких как косая черта.
  • Файл, который мы пытаемся открыть, не должен открываться в другом месте.
  • Использование блока try и exc, чтобы узнать, где возникает ошибка.

Мы рассмотрим все эти методы подробно один за другим.

Исправление 1: закрыть другие экземпляры файла

Когда определенный файл открывается в Microsoft Excel или Microsoft Word, эта ошибка часто появляется. Это происходит потому, что эти приложения не позволяют другим приложениям изменять файл при использовании через них.

Следовательно, убедитесь, что файлы закрыты, прежде чем пытаться получить к ним доступ через код Python, и убедитесь, что на компьютере с Windows никакие офисные приложения Microsoft не используют ваш файл, когда вы пытаетесь открыть () или прочитать () его.

Исправление 2: обновить разрешения и запустить от имени администратора

При попытке запустить скрипт Python убедитесь, что вы запускаете его через командную строку в режиме администратора.

Это не повлияет на ваши существующие разрешения для других приложений, оно переопределит только разрешение Python для этого конкретного скрипта и никакое другое. Убедитесь, что вы установили Python с необходимыми разрешениями PATH.

Когда вы открываете командную строку, выберите «Запуск от имени администратора» на правой панели, как показано ниже на рисунке с красной стрелкой.

Использование командной строки в режиме администратора

Использование командной строки в режиме администратора.

Исправление 3: убедитесь, что вы не обращаетесь к каталогу

В этом случае вы пытаетесь открыть каталог, а не конкретный файл. Эту проблему можно решить, указав абсолютный путь к файлу.

Например, если имя вашего файла «First_program.txt», вы также можете использовать приведенную ниже команду с open().

open ('D:/SHREYA/documents/First_program.txt','w')

Это помогает избежать ошибок при указании имен файлов или путей и даже каталогов.

Исправление 4: используйте блоки Try и Except для обработки ошибок

В этом случае также можно использовать операторы try и exclude. Блоки try и exclude используются для обработки исключений в Python. Код для следующего будет:

try:
   open('Our_file.txt','r')
except IOError:
   print("The file cannot be opened")

У нас есть подробная статья об обработке исключений Python. Нажмите здесь, чтобы прочитать!

Краткое содержание

Ошибку 13: Отказано в доступе в Python можно устранить с помощью различных методов и понимания ее причин. Применяя эти решения, вы можете избежать сбоев в программировании и обеспечить плавный прогресс. Сталкивались ли вы с какими-либо другими творческими решениями или превентивными мерами для устранения ошибок разрешений?

  • If Python cannot locate a file or does not have the necessary permissions to open it, then the PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied error may occur.
  • Release 3.7 introduced Python into the Microsoft Store which can cause permission denied errors.
  • The latest version of Python is 3.10.7 and is available for macOS, Linux/UNIX, and Windows 8 or newer.

Python is a program designed for building websites, software, and more using a high-level programming language. However, users have recently reported receiving a permission denied error in Windows 11. Here’s how to fix PermissionError [Errno 13] Permission denied error in Python.

Because Python uses a general-purpose language, it can be used to build a variety of different types of programs rather than focusing on a specific variable.

For those wanting to learn more about developing and coding, Python is one of the easiest programming languages to learn, making it perfect for beginners.

Why do I get the permission denied error in Python?

Users encounter PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied error if providing Python with a file path that does not have permission to open or edit the file. By default, some files do not allow certain permissions. This error may also occur if providing a folder rather than a file.

If the file is already being operated by another process, then you may encounter the permission denied error in Python. If you’re receiving the Python runtime error, we offer solutions for that as well.

How we test, review and rate?

We have worked for the past 6 months on building a new review system on how we produce content. Using it, we have subsequently redone most of our articles to provide actual hands-on expertise on the guides we made.

For more details you can read how we test, review, and rate at WindowsReport.

How do I fix the Python permission denied error in Windows 11?

1. Check file path

One of the main causes of PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied is because Python is trying to open a folder as a file. Double-check the location of where you want to open the file and ensure there isn’t a folder that exists with the same name.

Ensure the file exists and you're using the correct file path to fix python permission denied error.

Run the os.path.isfile(filename) command replacing filename with your file to check if it exists. If the response is false, then the file does not exist or Python cannot locate it.

2. Allow permissions using chomd

If the file does not have read and write permissions enabled for everyone, then you may encounter the permission denied error in Python. Try entering the chomd 755 filename command and replace filename with the name of your file.

use chomd 755 to fix python permission denied error in windows 11.

This command gives everyone permission to read, write, and execute the file, including the owner. Users can also apply this command to entire directories. Running the ls -al command will provide a list of files and directories and their permissions.

3. Adjust file permissions

  1. Navigate to the location of your file in file explorer.
  2. Right-click on the file and select Properties. open file properties.
  3. Click the Security tab then select your name under Group or user names. Open security tab.
  4. Select Edit and go through and check permissions. edit permissions to fix permission denied error.
  5. Click Apply then OK.

Adjusting the permissions of the file that you’re trying to open will allow Python to read, write, and execute the file.

4. Turn off execution aliases

  1. Click on Start and open Settings (or press Windows + I).
  2. Open Apps then select Apps & features. open windows 11 apps and features.
  3. Open the drop-down menu next to More settings.
  4. Click App execution aliases. go to app execution aliases.
  5. Locate the two App Installers for python.exe and python3.exe and toggle both to Off. Disable python aliases to fix permission denied error in windows 11.

Python was added to the Microsoft Store for version 3.7 which introduced permission denied errors because it created two installers: python.exe and python3.exe. Disabling the Microsoft Store versions of Python should fix the permissions denied error.

5. Update Windows and drivers

  1. Click on Start and open Settings (or press Windows + I).
  2. Scroll down and select Windows Update. Open windows update in settings.
  3. Perform any available updates.
  4. Select Advanced options. open windows 11 advanced options.
  5. Under Additional options, click on Optional updates. Do any optional updates to fix python permission denied error.
  6. Run any driver updates.

If you’re suddenly encountering the Python permission denied error and none of the above solutions worked, then check for any Windows 11 updates and perform any available driver updates.

If this method didn’t work either, we recommend you use specialized driver update software, Outbyte Driver Updater.

Outbyte Driver Updater is a fast and automated solution for finding all outdated drivers and updating them to their latest versions. The installation process it’s fast and safe so no additional issues will occur.

What is the latest version of Python?

As of the release of this article, the latest version of Python is 3.10.7 which is available for Windows 8 and newer and is not compatible with older versions including Windows 7. Python supports Windows, macOS, Linux/UNIX, and more.

Python version 3.10.7.

However, If users want to use older versions of Python, they can access releases 2.7 and newer or they can download a specific version of a release.

If you want a quick way to open PY files on Windows 10 and 11, we offer a guide for that as well.

Hopefully, one of the above solutions helped you fix the Python permission denied error in Windows 11. Let us know in the comments which step worked for you or if you have any suggestions for a different solution.
