Permissionerror: Permission Denied To Reading Csv File In Python

Simply I wanted to read the csv file that I converted from Data Frame after read the another csv file and same time I tried to remove header from in it. Then I got the error below

Solution 1:

In Windows, if you have the CSV file open (e.g. in Excel), and you run the script it cannot save to X_Data.csv since the file is in use and raises the PermissionError.

Close the file/Excel and try running your script again

Solution 2:

I think the User you are using to run the python file does not have Read (or if you want to change file and save it Write) permission over CSV file or it's directory.

If you are on Linux use CHMOD command to grant access the file:

public access: chmod 777 csv_file

And if you are on Windows change privacy and permissions of file and folder.

Solution 3:

In my case, I have not opened the file exactly but I have uploaded the same file in another application and that is the issue. So it was not allowed to read that file from another application. Once I close/refresh other application, python application able to read without any permission error.

Solution 4:

Whatever the other folks described is probably correct.

In my particular case:

The text file I am trying to read is on a shared drive on my work laptop. Corporations sync the shared drive so that you don't lose your data. With me this sync was the issue. I manually synced the folder and then I was able to read the file.

If the file is not synced, I doubt if you can even open the file. I tried and it said "Permission Denied" as it shows in jupyter notebook.
