Windowserror Error 5 Access Is Denied Subprocess
up vote 2 down vote favorite There's the script to re-create folder: # Remove folder (if exists) with all files if os.path.isdir(str(os.path.realpath('..') + "\\my_folder")): shutil.rmtree(os.path.realpath('..') + "\\my_folder", ignore_errors=True) # Create new folder os.mkdir(os.path.realpath('..') + "\\my_folder") This works nearly always, but in some cases (on creation step) I get WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\Path\\To\\my_folder' What could cause this error and how can I avoid it? python python-2.7 windowserror error 5 access is denied pip windowserror share|improve this question edited Jun 15 at 8:55 asked Jun 15 at 8:41 Andersson 2,7112524 check this: stackoverflow.com/questions/12990112/… –Daniel Sanchez Jun 15 at 8:58 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote It happens because you are not checking if you have permissions to open that path.
