shutil.move PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied

Hi i tried to move some local files to a nas but it raises an Access is denied error. I have compiled the script to .exe file with auto-py-to-exe. I tried to set some rights to the local folder but it didn't work. Run the script with adminrights but now i haven't rights on the nas, the rights on the nas i can't change.
python script:
import os, shutil, time, logging, stat
logging.basicConfig(filename="test.log", format='%(asctime)s %(message)s\n', encoding='utf-8')
try:
start = int(input("Startdate: "))
end = int(input("Enddate: "))
filePath = "D:/path/to/file"
storePath = "Z:"
count= 0
for file in os.listdir(filePath):
fname = int(file.split("_")[0])
if fname >= start and fname <= end:
count += 1
print(f"You are about to move {count} folder from {filePath} to {storePath}!")
answer = input("Do you want to move these files?(y/n): ")
if answer != "y":
print("Cancelled!")
exit()
for file in os.listdir(filePath):
fname = int(file.split("_")[0])
if fname >= start and fname <= end:
try:
os.chmod(f"{filePath}/{file}", stat.S_IRWXU| stat.S_IRWXG| stat.S_IRWXO) # 0777
except:
logging.log(f"\nRights were not changed for\n{filePath}/{file}\n\n")
shutil.move(f"{filePath}/{file}", f"{storePath}/{file}")
print(f"{filePath}/{file} moved to {storePath}/{file}")
time.sleep(60)
except Exception as e:
logging.exception(e, exc_info=True)

Your path to file flips the '/' to '\' at the filename. You can use 'r' in front of file names to ensure the slashes are maintained

FileExistsError Errno 17 -- I have no clue why this error is occurring

I have no idea why this error message is coming up... is there something wrong with my file path? Am I using os incorrectly?
any help is much appreciated!

FileExistsError: [Errno 17] File exists: 'hotels/Queen Elizabeth Hotel'

The exception is thrown from mkdirs if the dir you're trying to create already exists. Its ment to notify you of that fact.
You should catch the specific exception like so:
try:
os.makedirs(path)
except FileExistsError:
# the dir already exists
# put code handing this case here
pass
Since python 3.4.1 you can use this optional parameter to disable the exception if you dont care weather the dir exists already or not.
os.makedirs(path, exist_ok=True)

Script works for others, not for me (error: self.fp = io.open(file, filemode) PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied)

I am trying to run the code below in order to extract zip files from a folder and its subfolders to another folder. I have a script that extracts my files correctly but not the ones under the subfolder. I asked the question here and been redirected to an answer from SO that I'll be adding below. People are saying it's working for them but it's giving me an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/BerkayTok/PycharmProjects/GeoPandas/MergeAnswer3.py", line 7, in <module>
zip_file = zipfile.ZipFile(my_zip, 'r')

self.fp = io.open(file, filemode)
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\username\\My_Dataset
What can I try to manage this error?
import shutil
import zipfile
my_dir = r"D:\Download"
my_zip = r"D:\Download\my_file.zip"
with zipfile.ZipFile(my_zip) as zip_file:
for member in zip_file.namelist():
filename = os.path.basename(member)
# skip directories
if not filename:
continue
# copy file (taken from zipfile's extract)
source = zip_file.open(member)
target = open(os.path.join(my_dir, filename), "wb")
with source, target:
shutil.copyfileobj(source, target)

How can accomplish this? Please help!

Sounds like you need to close the file or stop the process heres a link I found that my be able to solve your problem. File handling in Python - PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

python os.remove can not access the file

Why am I getting
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\temp\py\tesst.py", line 8, in <module>
os.remove( PATH ) PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process:
'C:\temp\py\test.txt'
import os
PATH = r'C:\temp\py\test.txt'
f = open ( PATH,'w')
f.write('test\n')
f.close;
os.remove( PATH )
Am I missing something?

You are calling f.close instead of f.close(). It would be better to open the file contextually so it will be closed automatically.
import os
PATH = r'C:\temp\py\test.txt'
with open(PATH, 'wb') as f:
f.write('test\n')
os.remove(PATH)
