Actually, you can. I guess it's not the book author's intent, but you can try it for the sake of experiment. 

If you're working under a unix-like system, just try to write into another user's home dir (*), or any file outside your own home. The filesystem will refuse the permission, so you will get an error from python. In fact, in this case, you'll get an error both for creation and change.
I don't know the equivalent under other OSes, but it sure exists.
