I am trying to make a python application and I was able to get the folders I needed into the build folder, but whenever the .exe executes the open(SaveFile, "w") command I get PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied.
This is my setup.py code:
import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
# Dependencies are automatically detected, but it might need fine tuning.
# "packages": ["os"] is used as example only
build_exe_options = dict(include_files = ["IMG/", "Saves/"])
# base="Win32GUI" should be used only for Windows GUI app
base = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
base = "Win32GUI"
setup(
name = "PPD Mover",
description = "An app to help move files for using PPD",
options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
executables = [Executable("File.py", base=base)]
)
I don't get any error for reading the file, just for opening it to write on it. Also, I know this might be a duplicate but the only question I found about this was active last time more than 2 years ago so I thought I could ask myself
Edit: I was stupid and I did not understand what I read before, I posted my solution in a comment, I would have closed the question but I don't have enough reputation for it
I solved it by looking at another post. as said here: CX_Freeze - Building a .msi with Admin permissions, it is not supposed to write on text files in a random folder so just moving it to \AppData\Roaming solved the issue
