Errno13 - Permission denied in documents folder?

Okay, I worked for an hour on an code which allows the user to create an project, but now I am stunning. I try to copy a file using shutil and copyfile. Here is my code:

class Adder():
    @staticmethod
    def AddResource(resourcepath,resourcename,rootpath,projectname):
        resfi = rootpath + projectname + "/" + projectname + ".sceneproj/Resources"
        resfo = rootpath + projectname + "/" + projectname + ".sceneproj/project.scresources"
        shutil.copyfile(resourcepath + resourcename, resfo) # copy resource into resource folder
        with open(resfi, 'a') as resfile:
            resfile.write("project.scresources/" + resourcename)
            resfile.close()

And for starting:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    adder = Adder()
    adder.AddResource('/users/jan/downloads/', 'polygon_grey_background.jpg', '/users/jan/documents/', 'MyCoolScene')

But now I get the following problem:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "project.py", line 28, in adder.AddResource('/users/jan/downloads/', 'polygon_grey_background.jpg', '/ users/jan/documents/', 'MyCoolScene') File "project.py", line 21, in AddResource shutil.copyfile(resourcepath + resourcename, resfo) # copy resource into res ource folder File "C:\Python27\lib\shutil.py", line 83, in copyfile with open(dst, 'wb') as fdst: IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/users/jan/documents/MyCoolScene/MyCoolS cene.sceneproj/project.scresources'

It means that I don't have the permission to copy the file? But its my Documents folder? How can I fix this?

Fixed this by using copy instead of copyfile.
