Opening a file on my Mac, using Python, permission denied
I’m having trouble opening a file on my Mac using Python.
I get an error that I don’t have permission to open the file. Under ‘get info’ I have read and write permission.
file=open(‘/Users/me/Desktop/hello.rtf’)
python-3.x macos

All right, that makes sense now. I have it running through my Terminal, successfully.
