Permissions problems
Hi all,
I have been a long time linux user and now I am really confused by permissions in Windows 10.
I created a python script in linux which works fine and am now trying to get it to work in Windows.
In C:\ProgramData there is a subdirectory into which I can paste files I have copied from a flash drive using File Explorer.
I am the only user on this machine and am administrator.
If I run the python script it seems to work without errors but the file never gets pasted.
Even if i run the script from Command Prompt (Admin) it fails with no error messages.
How does this all work and can I get it to work?
I intend to end up with this as a gui program but am stuck at presentCode:#!c:/Python27/pythonfrom Tkinter import * import tkFileDialog import tkMessageBox import os import time from ctypes import windll, byref, wintypes from ctypes.wintypes import SMALL_RECT root = Tk() STDOUT = -12 todir = "c:/ProgramData/SoundBox/Videos" #Pick a video file and copy it. def select_video(): myname=tkFileDialog.askopenfilename(initialdir="C:/") if myname =="": return() else: (filepath, filename) = os.path.split(myname) myfin = filename print myfin doit="copy " + myname + " " + todir print doit quit() hdl = windll.kernel32.GetStdHandle(STDOUT) rect = wintypes.SMALL_RECT(0, 50, 50, 30) # (left, top, right, bottom) windll.kernel32.SetConsoleWindowInfo(hdl, True, byref(rect)) select_video() root.mainloop()
