Question

I was wondering if there is any way in which I can get sudo access. This will only work on Linux.

# get machine's username 
userMachine = getpass.getuser()

# education > school's name > year
makeSchoolPath = "/home/userMachine/Education/schoolInput/str(yearCourse)" 
os.makedirs(makeSchoolPath)

# last path, but also creates a leaf directory for each subject
dict2 = {}
for key, value in dict.items():
    dict2 ['path' + value] = "/home/userMachine/Education/schoolInput/str(yearCourse/value"
    for value2 in dict2.values():
        os.mkdir(value2) 

I got the error: "Exception has occurred: PermissionError [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/userMachine'". I read that I should write

chown -R user-id:group-id /path/to/the/directory

but I don't want to mess up anything, and I'm a little bit scared of that since it means "change owner".

Thank you for reading good human being:)

Answer 1

If you are on Linux, then just run your code with sudo python <your file name.py> .

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure if you type “sudo python file.py” your code should have sudo perms. Tell me if that works.
