Check if you are implementing the code inside a could drive like box  dropbox etc  If you copy the files you are trying to implement to a local folder on your machine you should be able to get rid of the error

This happened to me when I was using  shutil copyfile  instead of  shutil copy   The permissions were messed up

Maybe You are trying to open folder with open  check it once

For me  this was a permissions issue   Use the  Take Ownership  application on that specific folder   However  this sometimes seems to work only temporarily and is not a permanent solution

It looks like you re trying to replace the extension with the following code   if  myFile -4        asm        newFile   myFile  4    hack    However  you appear to have the array indexes mixed up  Try the following   if  myFile -4        asm        newFile   myFile  -4    hack    Note the use of -4 instead of just 4 in the second line of code  This explains why your program is trying to create  Use hack  which is the first four characters of your file name   Use   with  hack appended to it

Just Close the opened file where you are going to write

For me nothing from above worked  So I solved my problem with this workaround   Just check that you have added SYSTEM in directory folder  I hope it will help somoene   import os   create file  staticmethod def create file path       if not os path exists path           os system  echo    gt      format path      append lines to the file split text   text file split   n       for st in split text          os system  echo     gt  gt      format st path

You don t have sufficient permissions to write to the root directory    See the leading slash on the filename

I had a same problem  In my case  the user did not have write permission to the destination directory  Following command helped in my case    chmod 777 University
