[FIXED] I am getting permission error while trying to convert the list of texts in the picture to a list in python

Issue

import cv2
import pytesseract
import ast



pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR'

img=cv2.imread("number_1.jpg")


img=cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
new_array=[]
arr=pytesseract.pytesseract.image_to_string(img)
try :
    arr = ast.literal_eval(arr)

except:
    arr=arr.split("\n")
    arr =list(filter(None, arr))

    for i in arr:
        i=i.split(",")
        for j in i:
            j =int(j)
            new_array.append(j)

    arr=new_array

    

cv2.imshow("result",img)
cv2.waitKey(0)

I am getting a permission error when trying to convert the list of texts in the picture to a list in python. I don't have to do this test this way, but it happened when I tried it yesterday, but it didn't work today.

Solution

I found the solution. I extracted the 22mb file size named "eng.traineddata" to an external folder .that is to the folder named tesseract-ocr.
