Permissions Error when trying to run a script in python

Question

I am trying to run a script in python and I got this error:

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'E:\\Projects\\Abusive Comments Filter\\zest.txt'

main.py

import re
import tkinter as tk
import subprocess
import urllib.request
from inscriptis import get_text

import os

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
path1 = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'Abusive-Comments-Filter-master/zest.txt')

# url = input("Enter URL\n")
url = "https://www.quora.com/What-are-all-the-bad-words-and-their-meanings"
html = urllib.request.urlopen(url).read().decode('utf-8')

text = get_text(html)
path = r'path1'
# path = ''
file = open(path, 'w')
file.write(text)
file.close()

How can i fix this please.

Close the file zest.txt if it is open in your text editor or any other program.

Hi could you elaborate, are you trying to create a file or read it, could you post your code please

oh ok but then what did you mean when you said "the file doesn't exist there", you cannot read a file if it is not there and your python script cannot open the file if it is exists but is already open in another program.
