PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied with Binance API (python)

Question

I'm running trading bots written in python in VS Code on mac, trading at binance exchange. Unfortunately I get sporadic errors when the bot is placing orders, respectively connect via websocket. I really can't explain what's going on because the bots are running well for one or two days and then suddenly this error is disrupting the strategy, because it causes that orders are not cancelled anymore when they should leading to unsecured trades (without stop).

...and so on... I can't find anything in the dev.binance forum in this regard (and they are anyway not very helpful). What does this error mean?

Answer 1

My intuition is an imported module try to create a log file with logging module and raise a PermissionError.

Try to disable logging:

import logging.config
logging.config.dictConfig({
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': True,
})
