How to access a folder on a PC?

Question

Python

I'm trying to get read access to the folder C:\\Users\\{имя_пользователя}\\Pictures), but when accessing this path, it gives an error:

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\{имя_пользователя}\\Pictures'

What to do?

Answer 1

Run with administrator rights?

Answer 2

You didn't show the code that causes the error, but as a general idea, I've seen this error because people try to open the folder as a file, which won't work on a non-UNIX filesystem:

pics = open(r'C:\Users\UserName\Pictures', encoding='utf-8')
