Perhaps you should give us both the exact code you are running and the
complete traceback of the error. That could make things easier. There
can be numerous reasons for "permission denied".

Of course you do! You are opening the file for writing, but your code
attempts to read the file. Probably, you think that the code would
change the lines in the file itself, which it does not, even if it would
be possible to read from a file opened for writing.

What's wrong with the code that Mohammad posted? Note that you might
need to close out_file in his code.
