OSError: [Error 1] Operation not permitted

Question

I am trying to run a python script which uses a binary file (xFiles.bin.addr_patched) created by a postlinker. However, I am getting this error.

File \"abc.p         


        

Answer 1

Python code to change the permission:

from getpwnam import pwd
from getgrnam import grp
import os

uid = getpwnam("YOUR_USERNAME")[2]
gid = grp.getgrnam("YOUR_GROUPNAME")[2]
os.chown("myPath/xFiles.bin.addr_patched", uid, gid)

Run the script with sudo and you're done.
