IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied {Python}

Question

I'm making a file injection program via FTP {User runs program, ftp downloads another program to a distant folder and runs that program} When I try to make a zip file in my system 32 fold python yells at me and says YOU CANT DO THAT!

Is there a module I can use to get around this? Thanks here is my code

l_zipfile = open("C:\\Program Files\\"+zipfilename, 'w'

Try compiling it with py2exe then run as Administrator. – P'sao Oct 22 '11 at 18:32 — P'sao, Oct 22 '11 at 18:32

That's an operating-system level protection. If there were a module to get around the problems, Windows sucks more than I think it does, which is a lot.

Write to a different directory.

@P'sao - I am tempted to reply "Please keep your opinions about my keeping my opinions about Windows to myself to yourself." but I'll content myself with saying one, I cannot say for certain that there isn't a module out there that breaks Windows "security" and two, I based my evaluation on 20+ years of working with both DOS (and it's descendants) and with Unix (and it's descendants). On what experience or information did you base your comment on? – Michael Lorton Oct 22 '11 at 14:53
Like i said that it is your opinion with your experiences. On the other hand I have my opinion with my experiences. – P'sao Oct 22 '11 at 18:29

Compile it with py2exe then run as Administrator. This worked for me.

Follow these instructions from the forum in this link:

"I downloaded Virtual CloneDrive (google it - its freeware) When I installed Virtual CloneDrive, I associated the .iso files with it and no others. I then ran the .iso file that I originally downloaded to make my disc, directly from my Program Files folder by double-clicking. It should be mounted and launch as a virtual drive and run like the disc but without using the disc. I think the access denied error has something to do with the disc drive but I was unable to fix it."
