No other program outside of the folder which my imports were located can be found. However I also set Documents/Downloads/Desktop (more generalized paths) and those do not work. Restarted everything and it still remembers it. I was able to get one of my programs running by manually adding the path to PATHMANAGER and it worked. The issue definitely has to do with the path manager. Have no problem with running from the command line but cannot run on Spyder from Anaconda-Navigator. navigate to the Documents folder from IPython console - I get a PermissionErrorįor me too.navigate to the Documents folder via Spyder File explorer, the folder is empty.When using the open button I can see and open any script located in that folder. Would you be willing to try that and let us know if it solves your problem?

Once that is done, re-run your code and see if the permissions error is still there. Once there, navigate to the folder that you need access to and try to open a file (in your case the Documents folder). With Spyder open, hit the open folder button in the top left corner (cmd + o). However that doesn't seem to apply to non-MacOS apps like the python interpreter, or shell commands run via terminal (for what it's worth, this problem also happens for the default python and terminal included with MacOS). According to Apple, your system is supposed to prompt you to request permission to those folders when access is needed. This seems to be a different problem introduced with MacOS Catalina where certain user folders are protected (Desktop/Documents/Downloads).
