I would like to convert an HTML page into a PDF file, based on the given URL. I have tried pdfkit, but it throws the following error:
[WinError 740] The requested operation requires elevation.
Code:
import pdfkit
path_wkthmltopdf = "D:\\w.exe"
config = pdfkit.configuration(wkhtmltopdf = path_wkthmltopdf )
pdfkit.from_url("http://www.google.com", 'd:\\out.pdf', configuration=config)
Output error:

OSError: [WinError 740] The requested operation requires elevation
I encountered with this problem too, I solved it by running .exe after run this it will create new dir, go inside this dir then bin dir you will find a exe file there like
C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltopdf.exe
So, replace "D:\w.exe" to above kind of path in your code then it will work
Cause
You are most likely getting that error as a result of downloading the Installer version, but not installig it. Thus, when running your code with wkhtmltopdf in the configuration pointing to that executable (which requires elevation of privilege), you get the following error:
OSError: [WinError 740] The requested operation requires elevation
Solution
You could install wkhtmltopdf by running that Installer version and choosing the destination folder (let's say C:\Program Files). You will find the wkhtmltopdf.exe file that you need to add to your configuration inside the bin folder. Hence, you should use as follows:
config = pdfkit.configuration(wkhtmltopdf=r'C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltopdf.exe')
pdfkit.from_url('http://google.com', 'out.pdf', configuration=config)
Another solution would be to download the 7z Archive version, extract the files, in which you'll find wkhtmltopdf.exe under the bin folder as well.
I ran into this issue when I had not gone through the full installation of the wkpdftohtml library. Once it was unpacked, this ran without need for elevation.

Note: This was flagged as a potential duplicate of this, but the point of my question is that using textract doesn't work. I am looking either for (a) a way to get textract to work on windows 10 or (b) an alternate solution.
I am building a system that needs to read various types of files. I have set up pdfminer to read the .pdfs, and based on the process outlined here I installed textract, and I can now also read .docx files. However textract relies on antiword for reading .doc files and I cannot get this to work, even after following the directions here I could not find and install a working version of antiword. I do not have microsoft word installed on my machine, and I am running windows 10 with python 3.6.5. Is there any other way to read .doc files?
Here is the bug when running textract.process('d.doc') (ignore the first error, the file is definitely there):

From the 'Windows installation problem' series: https://github.com/deanmalmgren/textract/issues/194#issuecomment-507243521
After following the steps to 'install' antiword, I was facing the same problem as yours.
Restarting windows after setting up the environment path variable entirely solved this exact error message for me. (This was the last error I was facing for handling .doc files with textract)
Installation instructions extracted from https://github.com/deanmalmgren/textract/issues/194#issuecomment-506065817
"Install Antiword
(I followed Reading .doc file in Python using antiword in Windows (also .docx))
Go to https://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/Other-Office-Tools/Antiword.shtml
Extract to c:\antiword (yes it's required to be in the root directory)
Add location to path like we did tesseract-ocr [basically add c:\antiword to the system path (environment variable)]"
I was able to get part of the text using olefile, but olefile ultimately only handles bytes and does not handle the encoding of Word .doc files. The solution is to use LibreOffice, see my other question here
I'm trying to convert every file in a folder from mp4 to mp3 using the libary pydub but when i do it return the error FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified. I'm not sure how i can be more specific about the file.
Here's my code:
from pydub import AudioSegment
import os
import os.path
folder = 'C:/Users/Magnus/Desktop/test/'
videos = []
for file in [f for f in os.listdir(folder) \
if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(folder, f))]:
AudioSegment.from_file(folder + file).export(folder + file, format="mp3")
Inside of C:/Users/Magnus/Desktop/test/ i have files that look like this M83_-_Bibi_The_Dog_(Audio).mp4
Full traceback:

also replacing folder + file with os.path.join(folder, file) doesn't work either
I had a similar error.I was using anaconda.
This error doesn't look like a file error but due to either :
ffmpeg not being installed.
(or)
ffmpeg not being added to the environment variable.(Along with FFmpeg even your python.exe and conda.exe should be in the env variable)
Do the following steps :
On Windows:
Download and extract libav/ffmpeg from Windows binaries.
Add the libav /bin folder to your PATH environment variable.
pip install pydub

I'm getting the error in the title when trying to run the example code below on Windows 10/Python 3.6.1/Sublime Text Editor 3. I made sure to set my MAGICK_HOME environment variable to point to where I manually installed ImageMagick. I made sure to only have 1 version of ImageMagick installed. I made sure FFMPEG, Numpy, imageio, Decorator, and tqdm were all installed.
Yes, the file "vidclip.mp4" exists. The desired behavior here is to simply clip the video and add text to the center as per the example on the github page, i.e. to simply run the code successfully.
Does anyone know what might be wrong?
Example code from github:
from moviepy.editor import *
video = VideoFileClip("vidclip.mp4").subclip(7,64)
# Make the text. Many more options are available.
txt_clip = ( TextClip("Ken Block who?",fontsize=70,color='white')
.set_position('center')
.set_duration(10) )
result = CompositeVideoClip([video, txt_clip]) # Overlay text on video
result.write_videofile("vidclip_edited.webm",fps=25) # Many options...

raise IOError(error)
OSError: MoviePy Error: creation of None failed because of the following error:
[WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified.
.This error can be due to the fact that ImageMagick is not installed on your computer, or (for Windows users) that you didn't specify the path to the ImageMagick binary in file conf.py, or.that the path you specified is incorrect
Found the problem. I didn't realize it was imperative that I specify the location of ffmpeg.exe and convert.exe within ImageMagick's config_defaults.py file. After that, I install MoviePy (in that order).

How do i fix it?
(sorry about my possibles english mistakes)
Anything accessed from within a compressed archive (such as zips, rars, tar.gzs, etc...) need to be decompressed first before you access them.
That being said, you should not have your recourse files in a zip because decompressing it every time to want to access something is slow, and difficult. Your resource files should be in a normal directory, not an archive.
The reason why you're getting this error is because it's looking for a folder named library.zip and it's not finding one because library.zip is not a folder, it's a file.
How I would suggest to combat this error is to extract everything into a folder named library and to change in your code anywhere that library.zip exists to library.
I get this error while trying to open a txt. file. Please tell how to fix it .
code: subprocess.Popen("/home/yash/Documents/ct.txt")

Text files are normally not executable. What do you mean with "open" here?
This could mean "open it so that I can use it in the program".
This works with file_object = open('/home/yash/Documents/ct.txt', 'r') and then using that file_object.
This as well could mean "let the file type's associated application open the file so that the user can edit it".
In this case, you would have to find out what the associated application is. How you do this is dependent on the OS you use as well as the window manager/desktop environment. It cannot be answered in a few short sentences.
You could use webbrowser module to open a text file for editing in a portable manner in a script:
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open("/home/yash/Documents/ct.txt")
From a command-line:
$ python -mwebbrowser "/home/yash/Documents/ct.txt"
