1 year ago Can you provide information on how exactly you are trying to install graphviz and on the target system?
It's weird that windows cannot name a file as piping.py?
I don't think that the file name is the reason you get OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied (I have it installed on Windows systems), but rather the permissions of the directory tree you are trying to install in vs. the permissions that the installation was started with.
See https://graphviz.readthedocs.io/en/stable/manual.html#installation:
For a system-wide install, this typically requires administrator access. For an isolated install, you can run the same inside a venv or a virtualenv.
On Windows, this usually means that the shell ( cmd, PowerShell) used to pip install must be run as Adminitstrator.
pip also has https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#user-installs
