how to fix read-only file system error python

Question

I am trying to make a python script that runs the command line for turning a file into a .zip using python3 on my Mac.

However, whenever I run: os.system('zip -er file.zip /Users/mymac/Desktop/file.py') in python3, I get the error:

zip I/O error: Read-only file system
zip error: Could not create output file (file.zip)

I have tried disabling SIP on my Mac, as well as trying to use subprocess but I get the same message every time. I am really unsure why this happens... Is anyone able to help out?

Answer 1

i will suggest 3 steps ! first run :

fsck -n -f

then reboot !

make sure to run the python file as root

import os
try:

    os.system('zip mag.zip mag.ppk')
    print ('success')
 except:
    print ('problem')
