I am running Python 3.4 on Windows 7 and is facing [Error 13] Permission Denied while installing Python packages such as SciPy, NumPy etc; here are the facts that I tried but failed:
1.	I have admin privileges in my machine
2.	The folder where pip/easy_install copies contents have full write for the user
3.	I have tried Powershell with Unrestricted/RemoteSigned options
This is the line in *.py code that is causing exception    
             
with open(target, 'wb') as f:
                    f.write(data)

What do I need to do to make this work? I am a windows domain user and obviously cannot run scripts with domain admin privileges.

Over in the physics lab we have a big sign, which (translated) says:
'For windows 7, it is not enough to _be_ an admininstrator to
 install packages.  When opening up the command prompt you also
 have to select the 'run as administrator' option.'

No windows system here to test, but maybe this is your problem too.

And Yes, I do run command prompt with Admin privileges as well, but still it fails
