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

My guess is that you should be looking at the permissions for myPath folder instead. Seems like you can't write to it, hence the problem. Try ls -l myPath/.. and see the permissions for myPath. If that's the problem, change the permissions on the folder with chmod.

P.S. Also, see Google top result on Linux file permissions.
