import os
import rarfile
file = input("Password List Directory: ")
rarFile = input("Rar File: ")
passwordList = open(os.path.dirname(file+'.txt'),"r")
with this code I am getting the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Nick L\Desktop\Programming\PythonProgramming\RarCracker.py", line 7, in <module>
passwordList = open(os.path.dirname(file+'.txt'),"r")
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\Nick L\\Desktop'
This is weird because I have full permission to this file as I can edit it and do whatever I want, and I am only trying to read it. Every other question I read on stackoverflow was regarding writing to a file and getting a permissions error.
You're trying to open a directory, not a file, because of the call to dirname on this line:
passwordList = open(os.path.dirname(file+'.txt'),"r")
To open the file instead of the directory containing it, you want something like:
passwordList = open(file + '.txt', 'r')
Or better yet, use the with construct to guarantee that the file is closed after you're done with it.
with open(file + '.txt', 'r') as passwordList:
# Use passwordList here.
...
# passwordList has now been closed for you.
On Linux, trying to open a directory raises an IsADirectoryError in Python 3.5, and an IOError in Python 3.1:
IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/home/kjc/'
I don't have a Windows box to test this on, but according to Daoctor's comment, at least one version of Windows raises a PermissionError when you try to open a directory.
PS: I think you should either trust the user to enter the whole directory-and-file name him- or herself --- without you appending the '.txt' to it --- or you should ask for just the directory, and then append a default filename to it (like os.path.join(directory, 'passwords.txt')).
Either way, asking for a "directory" and then storing it in a variable named file is guaranteed to be confusing, so pick one or the other.
os.path.dirname() will return the Directory in which the file is present not the file path. For example if file.txt is in path= 'C:/Users/Desktop/file.txt' then os.path.dirname(path)wil return 'C:/Users/Desktop' as output, while the open() function expects a file path.
You can change the current working directory to file location and open the file directly.
os.chdir(<File Directory>)
open(<filename>,'r')
or
open(os.path.join(<fileDirectory>,<fileName>),'r')

I have two folders: In, Out - it is not system folder on disk D: - Windows 7. Out contain "myfile.txt" I run the following command in python:
>>> shutil.copyfile( r"d:\Out\myfile.txt", r"D:\In" )
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#39>", line 1, in <module>
shutil.copyfile( r"d:\Out\myfile.txt", r"D:\In" )
File "C:\Python27\lib\shutil.py", line 82, in copyfile
with open(dst, 'wb') as fdst:
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'D:\\In'
What's the problem?
Read the docs:
shutil.copyfile(src, dst)
Copy the contents (no metadata) of the file named src to a file
named dst. dst must be the complete target file name; look at copy()
for a copy that accepts a target directory path.
use
shutil.copy instead of shutil.copyfile
example:
shutil.copy(PathOf_SourceFileName.extension,TargetFolderPath)
Use shutil.copy2 instead of shutil.copyfile
import shutil
shutil.copy2('/src/dir/file.ext','/dst/dir/newname.ext') # file copy to another file
shutil.copy2('/src/file.ext', '/dst/dir') # file copy to diff directory
I solved this problem, you should be the complete target file name for destination
destination = pathdirectory + filename.*
I use this code fir copy wav file with shutil :
# open file with QFileDialog
browse_file = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(None, 'Open file', 'c:', "wav files (*.wav)")
# get file name
base = os.path.basename(browse_file[0])
os.path.splitext(base)
print(os.path.splitext(base)[1])
# make destination path with file name
destination= "test/" + os.path.splitext(base)[0] + os.path.splitext(base)[1]
shutil.copyfile(browse_file[0], destination)
First of all, make sure that your files aren't locked by Windows, some applications, like MS Office, locks the oppened files.
I got erro 13 when i was is trying to rename a long file list in a directory, but Python was trying to rename some folders that was at the same path of my files. So, if you are not using shutil library, check if it is a directory or file!
import os
path="abc.txt"
if os.path.isfile(path):
#do yor copy here
print("\nIt is a normal file")
Or
if os.path.isdir(path):
print("It is a directory!")
else:
#do yor copy here
print("It is a file!")

use

for src and dst use:
srcname = os.path.join(src, name)
dstname = os.path.join(dst, name)
This works for me:
import os
import shutil
import random
dir = r'E:/up/2000_img'
output_dir = r'E:/train_test_split/out_dir'
files = [file for file in os.listdir(dir) if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(dir, file))]
if len(files) < 200:
# for file in files:
# shutil.copyfile(os.path.join(dir, file), dst)
pass
else:
# Amount of random files you'd like to select
random_amount = 10
for x in range(random_amount):
if len(files) == 0:
break
else:
file = random.choice(files)
shutil.copyfile(os.path.join(dir, file), os.path.join(output_dir, file))
Make sure you aren't in (locked) any of the the files you're trying to use shutil.copy in.
This should assist in solving your problem
I avoid this error by doing this:
Import lib 'pdb' and insert 'pdb.set_trace()' before 'shutil.copyfile', it would just like this:
import pdb
...
print(dst)
pdb.set_trace()
shutil.copyfile(src,dst)
run the python file in a terminal, it will execute to the line 'pdb.set_trace()', and now the 'dst' file will print out.
copy the 'src' file by myself, and substitute and remove the 'dst' file which has been created by the above code.
Then input 'c' and click the 'Enter' key in the terminal to execute the following code.
well the questionis old, for new viewer of Python 3.6
use
shutil.copyfile( "D:\Out\myfile.txt", "D:\In" )
instead of
shutil.copyfile( r"d:\Out\myfile.txt", r"D:\In" )
r argument is passed for reading file not for copying
I'm slowly starting to study about python and wanted to write simple script which use tinify api, takes photos from unoptimalized directiory, compress it and put to optimalized directory. So far works partly, I mean weirdly I need to keep photos in main directory and unoptimalized one. If I dont have another copy in one of these directories, I have error. another thing is that after I launch script, only first photo is compressed and put inside optimalized directory, and then error appears.
So far I'm experimenting on two photos: lew.jpg and kot.jpg
My directory structure is like this:
Main root directory with script, and two other directories inside (optimalized and unoptimalized)
def optimalizeImages():
for fname in os.listdir('./unoptimalized'):
if fname.endswith(".jpg"):
print(fname)
source = tinify.from_file(fname)
print("processing", fname)
os.chdir("./optimalized")
source.to_file("optimalized-" + fname)
print("changed", fname)
optimalizeImages()
Error after processing first image:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "python.py", line 20, in <module>
optimalizeImages()
File "python.py", line 11, in optimalizeImages
source = tinify.from_file(fname)

return Source.from_file(path)
File "/home/grzymowiczma/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tinify/source.py", line 13, in from_file
with open(path, 'rb') as f:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'kot.jpg'
and if i keep photos only in root directory, no error but also no any action, if i keep them only in unoptimalized i get same error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "python.py", line 20, in <module>
optimalizeImages()
File "python.py", line 11, in optimalizeImages

There are two issues here, both because you are using relative filenames. os.listdir() gives you those relative filenames, without a path. Instead of ./unoptimalized/kot.jpg, you get just kot.jpg.
So when you try to load the image:
source = tinify.from_file(fname)
you tell the library to load image.jpg without any context other than the current working directory. And that's not the right directory, not if os.listdir('./unoptimalized') worked to list all image files; that indicates that the current working directory is in the parent directory of both unoptimalized and optimalized.
You solved that by putting an image file with the same name in the parent directory, but that's not quite the right way to solve this. More on this below.
The next issue is that you change the working directory:
os.chdir("./optimalized")
You do this for the first image, so now the current working directory has changed to optimalized. When you then loop back up for the next file, you are now in the wrong location altogether to read the next file. Now lew.jpg, which might exist in ./unoptimalized or the parent directory, can't be found because it is not there in ./optimalized.
The solution is to add on the directory name. You can do so with os.path.join(), and not changing directories:
def optimalizeImages():
input_dir = './unoptimalized'
output_dir = './optimalized'
for fname in os.listdir(input_dir):
if fname.endswith(".jpg"):
print(fname)
source = tinify.from_file(os.path.join(input_dir, fname))
print("processing", fname)
source.to_file(os.path.join(output_dir, "optimalized-" + fname))
print("changed", fname)
Note that this still depends heavily on the current working directory being correct, but at least it is now stable and stays at the parent directory of both optimalized and unoptimalized. You may want to change that to using absolute paths.
And a side note on language: In English, the correct spelling of the two terms is optimized and unoptimized. I didn't correct those in my answer to keep the focus on what is going wrong.
I am creating a Python application that imports many JSON files. The files are in the same folder as the python script's location. Before I moved the entire folder someplace else, the files imported perfectly. Since the script creates a files if none exists, it keeps creating the file in the home directory while ignoring the one in the same folder as it is in. When I specify an absolute path (code below):
startT= time()
with open('~/Documents/CincoMinutos-master/settings.json', 'a+') as f:
f.seek(0,0) # places pointer at start of file
corrupted = False
try:
# turns all json info into vars with load
self.s_settings = json.load(f)
self.s_allVerbs = []
# --- OFFLINE MODE INIT ---
if self.s_settings['Offline Mode']: # conjugation file reading only happens if setting is on
with open('~/Documents/CincoMinutos-master/verbconjugations.json', 'r+', encoding='utf-8') as f2:
self.s_allVerbs = [json.loads(line) for line in f2]
# --- END OFFLINE MODE INIT ---
for key in self.s_settings:
if not isinstance(self.s_settings[key], type(self.s_defaultSettings[key])): corrupted = True
except Exception as e: # if any unexpected error occurs
corrupted = True
print('File is corrupted!\n',e)
if corrupted or not len(self.s_settings):
f.truncate(0) # if there are any errors, reset & recreate the file
json.dump(self.s_defaultSettings, f, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False)
self.s_settings = {key: self.s_defaultSettings[key] for key in self.s_defaultSettings}
# --- END FILE & SETTINGS VAR INIT ---
print("Finished loading file in {:4f} seconds".format(time()-startT))
It spits out a FileNotFound error.

Keep in mind that I am perfectly able to access it with the same absolute path when I operate from terminal. Can somebody please explain what I need to do in order for the files to import correctly?
Also, I am creating this application for multiple users. While /Users/23markusz/Documents/CincoMinutos-master/verbconjugations.json does work, it will not on another user's system. This file is also in the SAME FOLDER as the script so it should import correctly.
UPDATE:
While my issue is solved using os.path.expanduser(), I still do not understand why python refuses to open a file that is within the same folder as the python script. It should automatically open the file with just the filename and not the absolute path.
"~" isn't a real directory (and would not qualify as an "absolute path"), and that's why the open doesn't work.
In order to expand the tilde to an actual directory (e.g. /Users/23markusz), you can use os.path.expanduser:
import os
...
with open(os.path.expanduser('~/Documents/CincoMinutos-master/settings.json'), 'a+') as f:

I am getting some error while writing contents to csv file in python
import sys

f3 = open('test_'+str(a[0][0])+'_.csv', 'at')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'test_1/1/2013_.csv'
How to fix it and what is the error?
You have error message - just read it.
The file test_1/1/2013_.csv doesn't exist.
In the file name that you create - you use a[0][0] and in this case it result in 1/1/2013.
Probably this two signs '/' makes that you are looking for this file in bad directory.
Check where are this file (current directory - or in .test_1/1 directory.
It's probably due to the directory not existing - Python will create the file for you if it doesn't exist already, but it won't automatically create directories.
To ensure the path to a file exists you can combine os.makedirs and os.path.dirname.
file_name = 'test_'+str(a[0][0])+'_.csv'
# Get the directory the file resides in
directory = os.path.dirname(file_name)
# Create the directories
os.makedirs(directory)
# Open the file
f3 = open(file_name, 'at')
If the directories aren't desired you should replace the slashes in the dates with something else, perhaps a dash (-) instead.
file_name = 'test_' + str(a[0][0]).replace('/', '-') + '_.csv'
This is one of my first python scripts designed to go into a directory and rename all the files of a certain extension to the same thing. For instance, go into a music directory and change the name of all the album artwork files to something like folder.jpg so that they're easily recognized and displayed by music playing software like foobar2000.
I'm currently getting the error in the title. I've tried:
os.chmod(pathname, 0777)
and
os.chmod(pathname, stat.S_IWOTH)
to allow other entities to edit the directory I'm looking at, but the error remains. I'm not too familiar with Windows's permissions system or with Python so this is mystifying me. Any idea where I'm going wrong?
#Changes file names in every subdirectory of the target directory
import os
import sys
import shutil
#Get target path
pathname = raw_input('Enter path for music directory (ex. C:\\Music): ')
try:
os.chdir(pathname)
except:
print('Failed. Invalid directory?')
sys.exit()
#Get variables for renaming
fn = raw_input('Enter desired file name for all converted files: ')
ft = raw_input('Enter the file extension you want the program to look for (ex. .jpg): ')
outname = fn + ft
#Create path tree
for path, subdirs, files in os.walk (pathname):
#Search tree for files with defined extention
for name in files:
if name.lower().endswith(ft):
#Rename the files
src = os.path.join(path, name)
print (src)
dst = os.path.join(path, outname)
print dst
shutil.move(src, dst)
print('Complete')
A second more benign issue is that when I use a print statement to check on what files are being edited, it seems that before the first .jpg is attempted, the program processes and renamed a file called d:\test\folder.jpg which doesn't exist. This seems to succeed and the program fails in the last loop the second time through, when an existing file is processed. The program runs like this:
>>> ================================ RESTART ================================
>>>
Enter path for music directory (ex. C:\Music): d:\test
Enter desired file name for all converted files: folder
Enter the file extension you want the program to look for (ex. .jpg): .jpg
d:\test\folder.jpg
d:\test\folder.jpg
d:\test\Anathema\Alternative 4\AA.jpg
d:\test\Anathema\Alternative 4\folder.jpg

The glitch seems to be benign because it doesn't cause an error, but it might be related to an error I have in the code that leads to the IOError I get when the first "real" file is processed. Beats me...
I am assuming that d: is not a CD drive or something not writable. If so then have you checked the properties of your files? Are any of them read only? There would also need to be more than one of the file type in the folder to cause this, I believe.
