“site-packages\PIL\image.py”,line 2131, in save…PermissionError:[error 13] permission denied: scr.png

Question

I have made a python code that takes a screenshot and saves it. Am facing the following Error in saving a piece of code:

 "site-packages\PIL\image.py",line 2131, in save...PermissionError:[error 13] permission denied: scr.png

Note

Folder permission is set to read/write.

Piece of code:

snapshot = ImageGrab.grab()

    # Using png because it cannot write mode RGBA as JPEG
    file = "scr.png"
    snapshot.save(file)

Answer 1

Move your code to desktop, then your code will automatically work.

Move your code out of Site-Packages to Desktop or somewhere

Answer 2

Try in another directory and put the full path of the image file:

file = "path/to/img/scr.png"

or try with sudo or admin prompt
