Question

so this is my first python experience. I have a list of images in folder that I’m trying to convert to html pages. For that I have the following code:

import inspect, os, errno, markup
path =  os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(inspect.getfile(inspect.currentframe())))+'/www/img/'
print path

for f in os.listdir(path):
  counter = 1
  page = markup.page()
  page.init(charset="UTF-8")
  from markup import oneliner as e
  page.a(e.img(src='img/'+f, width=1024, height=768), href='')
  final = open('/index'+str(counter)+'.html','w')
  final.write(page)

and I get an IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/index1.html' message….
any clues or ideas are much appreciated. thanks!

Answer 1

Your problem is here: open('/index'+str(counter)+'.html','w')

The path starting with ‘/’ is an absolute path, no matter what’s your current directory.
And it’s not a python specific.
