Jim Pattee added the comment: The problem is not file permissions nor the install. I did some further testing.
The problem actually occurs with the library calls at lines 23 and 25. I changed these lines to eliminate the library call by just hard coding the file path. Change from: line 23: header_path = libastyle.get_astyle_directory() + "/src/astyle.h" line 25: beautifier_path = libastyle.get_astyle_directory() + "/src/ASBeautifier.cpp" Change to: line 23: header_path = "C:\\Users\\jimp\\ZPythonPermissionError\\Projects/AStyle/src/astyle.h" line 25: beautifier_path = "C:\\Users\\jimp\\ZPythonPermissionError\\Projects/AStyle/src/ASBeautifier.cpp" When run with the changes the program worked. The problem is apparently with the library call, not the file itself. Then I changed the same instructions to get the file name using the same instructions that the library program used. The library program uses “sys.path[0]” to get the directory containing the executed script. Change to: line 23: header_path = sys.path[0] + "/../AStyle/src/astyle.h" line 25: beautifier_path = sys.path[0] + "/../AStyle/src/ASBeautifier.cpp" This also worked. I want to do some more testing this weekend. I will hopefully have more info on Monday. Thanks for your input on this. Apparently this is not a problem on your PC. I have run this on both Windows 7 and Windows 8. I get the same results (a Permission Error) on both. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16383> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
