Running IPython under Windows7 : Permission denied: u'C:\\Windows\\system32

[chip...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I'm trying to develop IPython notebooks for web-based and local deployment. Unfortunately, IPython from the Anaconda CE distribution 1.7.0 won't run out of the box under Windows 7 without admin privileges : When I try to open a notebook from an arbitrary directory, I get the message

Unexpected error while autosaving notebook: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'C:\\Windows\\system32\\ ...

For me, the IPython configuration system is not trivial - I think, I need a little help on how to tweak the system to run IPython in a different directory. Could anyone give me a hint? I plan to introduce (I)Python in a university course starting in October and I would like to smooth out some rough edges till then.

Perhaps it would be possible to setup IPython with a different default run directory for future releases? I think the current behaviour might confuse newbies.

Best regards,

Christian

 In order to avoid this message, you must create a folder for ipynb files,  let us say NBooks, and start the server from that folder.

Thank you so much - I just copied the link to the IPython notebook from the Windows start menu to my IPython Notebook folder, works like a charm.

On my system, this links to

    C:\Anaconda\python.exe "C:\Anaconda\Scripts/ipython-script.py" notebook

It's so easy, when you know how to do it ... ;-)

Cheers,

Christian

Copy the link to IPython notebook located in Start menu (mine is located here: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Anaconda (64-bit)), and paste it into the folder where your notebook file is located. Then open the link from there, and you should be able to upload the notebook on the webpage.
