Pyinstaller not building because permission denied to USS.jtx

I am getting the following error when using the pyinstaller (pyinstaller --onefile main.py --name pbot.exe) on windows:

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\adwaith\\AppData\\Local\\Comms\\UnistoreDB\\USS.jtx'
I have checked that the location and the USS.jtx files exist on my machine. Also, I tried searching about USS.jtx file but it keeps showing up in the context of git. I do have a Github desktop, so I thought maybe using pyinstaller from inside the git repo is causing problems. I then copied the entire repo to another location on my computer, but the problem persists.

I'm not normally a Windows guy, but I saw your post on Linkedin about this.
It seems to me that the file exists, but you don't have permission to read it. Have a look at this article and ensure that you have permission to read the file.
A quick and dirty way to check this is to just try opening the file in notepad or whatever the basic text editor is called in Windows.
If notepad gives an error on trying to open the file, then you need to fix the permissions. If notepad can open it without any changes to the permissions, then you have some oddness in how you are running pyinstaller.

Function open() doesn't work in Visual Studio Code

I have a few projects for which I have to edit .txt documents and I am using Visual Studio Code. When I just use the standard IDLE everything works fine, but when I try it in VS-Code I get the following error code:
Traceback (most recent call last):

hlayers = open("hiddenvalues.txt", "r")
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'hiddenvalues.txt'
PS C:\Users\User\Desktop>
The Code used in the Test is:
f = open("test.txt", "r")
print(f.read())

Without being given a path name, open would try to find the given file name in the interpreter's current working directory, which in Visual Studio Code may be different from your IDLE environment.
Instead you should always pass to open the full path name to the file unless you are certain of the current working directory being the correct one (perhaps by calling os.chdir first).

Error with "mlflow ui" when trying to run it on MS Windows

When I run mlflow ui the following error occurred:

I used anaconda + python 3.6.5 and I installed git and set path with C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe and C:\Program Files\Git\cmd.
I installed mlflow whit pip install mlflow and its version is 0.2.1.
I set a variable with name GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE and value C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe in Environment Variables.
How can I solve this?

firstly Uninstall 'mlflow' and 'waitress', then again install 'mlflow' .Now try it works

mlflow documentation already says that
Note 2: We do not currently support running MLflow on Windows.
Despite this, we would appreciate any contributions to make MLflow
work better on Windows.
You're hitting fcntl problem: it's not available on MS Windows platform because it's a "wrapper" around the fcntl function that's available on POSIX-compatible systems. (See https://stackoverflow.com/a/1422436/236007 for more details.)
Solving this requires modifying the source code of mlflow accordingly.

Cannot uninstall pycrypto: cannot find pycrypto-2.6-py2.7-win32.egg

I was installing pycrypto, and was careless and installed the win32 version instead. Unfortunately, when I go to uninstall it, it cannot find the file specified (full error below). Thanks for any help.

Usually, there's a long list of files here. In your case, it's only an .egg. Which means that you installed the package as a packed .egg (thus most probably, you installed it with easy_install rather than pip: pip always unpacks .eggs).
Now,
WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified:
'c:\\python27\\lib\\site-packages\\pycrypto-2.6-py2.7-win32.egg'
Means that the .egg was already deleted (probably you deleted it by hand, or a previous uninstallation process was interrupted), but installation metadata wasn't. IIRC it's kept in a file or directory named something like pycrypto-2.6-py2.7-win32.egg-info.
So, locate it in site-packages and delete it.

djangocms: AttributeError: 'FileNotFoundError' object has no attribute 'cmd'

I am trying to install Django CMS on windows. I am using following steps.

I have searched on it but can't get any solution.

The root cause is this line:
output = subprocess.check_output(['pip'] + args, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
so put the PATH on the pip executable location and it should work:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Python34\Scripts
At first glance, sounds that the package is not very adapted to Windows environment... The double exception is not very nice, and calling pip without any path can be a problem.
