I've never experienced this in writing my own software. If I try to read or write to a directory I'm not allow to I simply get access denied.

f = open('C:/windows/test.txt')

try:

    f.write('test')

except Exception as ex:

    print ex

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:/windows'

Try the same with C:/test.txt. Open Explorer and see if the file actually appears in C:/.
