PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied for creating file - python-3.x

I have been trying to make a file in C drive but I am getting PermissionError using python 3.6. How can I fix this problem?
import os
os.mkdir('C:\\Program Files\\test_folder')

To modify C:\Program Files\, you need administrator permissions. So this is not specifically a Python problem.
Run your program from an administrator user, for instance by right-clicking and selecting Run as administrator or using runas in the console. You may also need to pass UAC.

NX for Angular preventing certain operations from running?

With NX 14.8.1 for Angular 14.2.4, the file 'node_modules/.cache/nx/d/daemon.log' is preventing operations such as yarn install from running properly. When running yarn install, the following error is displayed in the console.
Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, unlink 'C:\Users\user\Programming\project\project2\ClientApp\node_modules.cache\nx\d\daemon.log'
Note: user, project, and project 2 are replacements for the real directories. user has a space in it, which has caused problems for nx before.
The file daemon.log does not allow me to delete it via File Explorer or PowerShell rm. File Explorer prompts for Admin but says that access is denied when I do, and PowerShell fails to run with an access is denied error. I am also unable to delete it via rm in Windows Subsystem for Linux Ubuntu, with a similar error to PowerShell rm. In File Explorer, I am unable to edit the permissions of the file to allow it to be deleted.
It seems funny but using any file unlocker would help.
I just use IOrbit unlocker to unlock and delete the deamon.log and nx build just started working.

macOS Catalina python via launchd access denied to Downloads folder

I am having permission issues with a python program executed via script via launchd.
If I run the .sh script from Terminal, or from BBEdit, it executes OK.
When run from launchd, I get:
with open(_userHome + '/Downloads/quotes.csv', newline='') as chkFile:
PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/Users/xxx/Downloads/quotes.csv'
Permissions on the download folder give the user r/w and everyone read access.
I tried adding python3 to security with full disk access using /usr/local/bin/python3.
This is specific to the 'Downloads' folder. I created a 'Downloads2' folder and it worked fine. That is a terrible kluge. I should be able to use the default download folder.
Ideas ?
You're running a newer, more restrictive version of MacOS than I am.

for advice that goes beyond chmod a+r.

Trying to test Python on Win 10, getting Errno 2. Path to python is given to the value of env variable

I've installed Python 3.8 on Win 10 machine. Path to Python is C:\Users\userid\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\
Path environment variable values are: C:\Users\userid\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Scripts\;C:\Users\userid\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\python.exe
In order to test python, I created a simple script called "script.py" in directory C:\python_scripts.
Then I tried to run "script.py" from the directory where it is located, but got error:
C:\python_scripts> python script.py
C:\Users\userid\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\python.exe: can't open file 'script.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
What might be the cause of getting this error? i tried to run the script with both cmd and powershell, with the usual user rights and with elevated admin rights, still getting Errno 2.
No other versions of Python have been previously installed on this machine (which is a corporate one, if that might be significant)
Thank you
Thank you #OferSadan for your suggestion to use dir command, it helped me to solve the problem. The "script.py" had an additional .txt extension added to it for some reason, but the Windows explorer only showed .py extension by default. Now I deleted the trailing .txt suffix and the script runs

Unable to create temporary folder: Unable to create temporary file /tmp/AndroidStudio319FirstRun

I am a newbie in android programming. I can't build any app now suddenly. Even I can't update sdk. When i try to build, It says read only file system. Can anyone help?
for mac
open terminal
sudo chmod -R 7777 /tmp/AndroidStudio319FirstRun
enter your system password
for windows
go to address bar
enter /tmp/AndroidStudio319FirstRun
2.right click anywhere, go to properties and give all write, read, permission to all users
Running the .exe as administrator fixed the problem for me.
