PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied - python - pytesseract.image_to_string

I tried to run image to string convert program in python using pytesseract. I am using VS code with Jupyter Extension and Python 3.12.0 installed. I am facing error in pytesseract.image_to_string......

`from PIL import Image

import pytesseract

pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'C:\Users\KP\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\pytesseract'

image = Image.open("readonly/text.png")

text = pytesseract.image_to_string(image) print(text)
