Problem--IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

[patrick.waldo at gmail.com]

Hi all,

After sludging my way through many obstacles with this interesting
puzzle of a text parsing program, I found myself with one final error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\framework
\scriptutils.py", line 310, in RunScript
    exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\Patrick Waldo\My Documents\Python
\WORD\try5-2-file-1-all patterns.py", line 77, in ?
    input = codecs.open(input_text, 'r','utf8')
  File "C:\Python24\lib\codecs.py", line 666, in open
    file = __builtin__.open(filename, mode, buffering)
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\text_samples\\test\
\output'

The error doesn't stop the program from functioning as it should,
except the last line of every document gets split with | in between
the words, which is just strange.  I have no idea why either is
happening, but perhaps they are related.

Any ideas?
