python 2.7 access denied when writing a file to Windows

[kavise]

Hello,

I'm trying to use a python script to download a file from s3 to my Windows 10 laptop. I'm running the
prompt "as administrator". I have given everyone full access to the folder I'm trying to write the file
to, but windows is still giving an "access denied" error.

1 2 3

import boto3 s3 = boto3.resource('s3') s3.Bucket('kapps2.services-exchange.com').download_file('myconfig.py', 'C:\data')

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\boto3\s3\inject.py", line 168, in bucket_download_file

File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\s3transfer\futures.py", line 233, in result
raise self._exception
WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\data'

I'm new to Python, can anyone help with this? Thank You

It's not python.
That error is generated from OS.
Say right there WindowsError

SOLVED - I needed to include the file name in the path, it was not good enough to just have the file name and the path.
