Question

I’m trying to use generateDS under windows, which uses os.tmpfile. Unfortunately, os.tmpfile doesn’t work for me:

(oneclickcos) C:\Users\Marcin\Documents\oneclickcos\xsd>python
Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 14:24:46) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win
32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.tmpfile()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied
>>>

I’ve got all my temp directories set with full control for everyone, so that shouldn’t be the problem.

What could be causing this?

Answer 1

Run the script as administrator (right click on the script and select ‘run as administrator’), the script lacks the permissions to execute os.tmpfile().

Edit:
As I see you’re using the interpreter, simply run the interpreter as administrator. If you’re accessing it though a terminal, running the terminal as administrator should be sufficient.
