[issue7367] OSError [errno 13] permission denied

[Jay Lugo]

New submission from Jay Lugo :

I spend the better part of a day figuring out this relatively simple
problem with the help files in IDLE with python 2.6 on a mac OSX

I came about the solution by following the code errors all over
up and down the program files.

Eventual I came about the public folder ex..
Users/ME/Public

I spent time looking through the properties and settings tabs editing my
firewall settings and file sharing options (I reverted them when i fixed
the problem)
but i ended up removing all file sharing settings anyway.

I simply right clicked on the public folder and my permission was set
to "Write only(Drop Box)"
a simple change to "Reed and Write" fixed the IDLE error.

Hope i just saved some one some time.

[issue7367] OSError [errno 13] permission denied

Jay Lugo  added the comment:

Python 2.6.4
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin

>From the best I can tell the error came about
when I updated my firewall/shared folder settings.
(I lost a computer on my home network due to my partner leaving me :( )
so I did a complete revamp of my network to close up any holes
and Bam no IDLE.

The solution as I said came about from simply changing the user access
on the public folder in User/ME/

I initially came across the error when attempting to get a modules list
and was returned a list of errors. One of them was the [errno 13].

Hope that clears things.
