You have to specify the destination filename, not just the directory. Also, you probably shouldn't be trying to write to the root directory of the C drive. You should probably be using a directory beneath either %USERPROFILE% or %ALLUSERSPROFILE%. Writing to the root of the system drive tends to require Administrator privileges. Even if the current user is an administrator, the process must have elevated privilege (e.g. via "Run as Administrator" or an explicit privilege-elevation request from within the code). -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
