My Python script running on macOS cannot open files on Windows Parallels VM because of "PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted". However, the script can open the copies of those files with the same privileges if they are on the macOS host.
From the macOS terminal I can correctly open the files at both locations.
Any advice?
import os
def main():
fnOnMacOs='/Users/Juhasz/test.txt'
fnOnWinVM='/Volumes/[C] Windows 10 64-bit.hidden/Users/Juhasz/test.txt'
fileOnMacOs=os.open(fnOnMacOs, os.O_RDONLY)
fileOnWinVM=os.open(fnOnWinVM, os.O_RDONLY)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Traceback (most recent call last):

main()
File "/Users/Juhasz/PycharmProjects/accessingVM/main.py", line 7, in main
fileOnWinVM = os.open(fnOnWinVM, os.O_RDONLY)
PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/Volumes/[C] Windows 10 64-bit.hidden/Users/Juhasz/test.txt'
open '/Users/Juhasz/test.txt'
open '/Volumes/[C] Windows 10 64-bit.hidden/Users/Juhasz/test.txt'
After further research I found the solution based on this post: PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted after macOS Catalina Update
I had to set Full Disk Access permission for PyCharm in System Preferences on my Mac.
