Hi.
I have a problem with Python.
When I try to create a folder for example or a file inside c :, I mean in documents etc. I get this message.
os.mkdir ('test')
output
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'test'
how i can fix it?

if you are creating a folder inside documents and you are getting this error then that's strange

Are you sure that it's creating it where you think it is?  Because os.mkdir('test') is going to create it in your current working directory, not in documents.
