sorry i was careless with my last message i got an error but it wasnt
the same now i lack the permissions to run the script which i can change
in the linux shell but i am researching how to do throught python i
thinks its=20
>>> import os
>>> system("chmod +x filename")
then open write and close but the problem is i cant change the write
permissions before a file exists and i cant write a new file without
having permissions i never had this problem before i was always aloud to
write files or the files i couldnt write to already existed
