This post will show how we can use the fantastic stem Python library to automatically create and host a Tor hidden service.
What does it mean when it says permission denied in Python?
Permission denied simply means the system is not having permission to write the file to that folder. Give permissions to the folder using “sudo chmod 777 ” from terminal and try to run it. It worked for me.
How to get permission to open a file in Python?
Also, if you want to play with your file permissions, you should right-click it, choose Properties and select Security tab. Or if you want to be a little more hardcore, you can run your script as admin. For future searchers, if none of the above worked, for me, python was trying to open a folder as a file.
How to grant permission to a python IDE?
The problem here is your user doesn’t have proper rights/permissionsto open the file this means that you’d need to grant some administrative privileges to your python ide before you run that command.

Why is my Tor control port not enabled?
The issue is that when tor is installed as a service, for whatever reason the Control Port is not enabled. To fix your issue, open your terminal, navigate to the tor directory and type the following commands: tor –service remove tor –service install -options ControlPort 9051
Where do I find Tor controlport in Python?
Sat Cit Ananda. Tor service runs at default port 9150 and ControlPort on 9151 . You should be able to see local address 127.0.0.1:9150 and 127.0.0.1:9151 when you run netstat -an. Thanks for contributing an answer to Stack Overflow!
Where is the Tor controlport in netstat-an?
Now, tor is installed as a service AND the ControlPort is enabled on port 9051. If you type “netstat -an” you will now see that port 9051 is open. You will then be able to use Stem to connect to the ControlPort. I hope this helps.
