Permission Error

[Cookiek3]

Hello, i'm getting an permission error while running PY3 how do i fix this?

May I ask what OS you are on?
I had this same problem, running on Windows 11. I haven't been able to come up with an actual fix yet, but I did manage to find a workaround.
You can see the script is trying to copy a file from ...\StorytelReaderMods\mods\gen2\files.backup.magisk to \StorytelReaderMods\tmp\work\ramdisk.extracted.backup.magisk. You can manually do this copy, and then add a few lines of code to ...\StorytelReaderMods\tools\repack.py
Open the repack.py file in a text editor like notepad or preferably one with line numbers like vscode or notepad++, then add the following lines of code on line 61:
if(".magisk" in in_file.absolute().as_posix()): continue

You may need to do the same for a file that the script also attempts to copy, by adding these lines right after the previous couple of lines and then also copying the .rmlist file manually:
if(".rmlist" in in_file.absolute().as_posix()): continue

If your situation is anything like mine, new errors will follow after this, but we'll deal with those if they happen.

Please try the python scripts in a Linux VM. I cannot recall whether I actually tested these scripts on Windows though I see now that I mention in the README what you need on your system to run them under Windows. Could be that I just hoped they would work...

Ah, I hadn't considered using Linux. I will definitely try that. If I can find some extra time I'll also see if I can make it win-compatible

Hi Raymon, with your solution i still get an error. Is there a way that i try and do this while you watch with me?

Also check out the reply by ntherning, maintainer and builder of this repo. Possibly the script wasn't tested on windows and you might have a better shot at running it on Linux. I might take a look at the script at a later time and see if I can make it work on my windows installation, but I can't guarantee when that would be.
