My python scrpit access io port and I am facing the issue. Any work around for this ? if I run as sudo, then I get message saying "125 ERROR: You are running PyInstaller as user root. This is not supported." But if I run without root, I get "IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied".
Any response is highyl appreciated.
