PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied

See original GitHub issue

I’m getting this error whenever I type anything, no JEDI auto-completion working.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "X/subprocess.py", line 1090, in _execute_child
PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Hello All,

I’m learning python now and see an issue when try to execute the below python code and see the error message "PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied’. could you please help me to have the below issue sorted out.

I have already tried to execute by updating the System variables in Environment variables of System properties as below pythonexe as System variable and value as ;c:\python27 but still it’s not working.

I do see the below comment in this chain “set python_interpreter_path as C:/Python27/python.exe” , if this is the work around not sure where exactly I need to do that.

Please help me.

from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary binary = FirefoxBinary(‘C:\Users\r628956\workspace\MyFirstProject’) driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=binary) #Firefox browser instantiation #driver = webdriver.Firefox() #Loading the gmail URL driver.get(‘http://gmail.com’) driver.quit()
