Unable to debug what this issue could be

[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/user/.config/PandasProfiling'

Not sure what this is

Can you provide a minimum reproducible result?

Hi there,
is there any update on this situation?
We get this error:

We work in a distributed cluster without have access to the filesystem. At the moment we use the last version that works for us that is 1.4.2. Could you please investigate and provide us another workaround?
Thanks

@Praneeshjai @Isidoro91 Is either of you in the position to test whether #405 resolves the issue?

@sbrugman I believe I have a similar issue that I just encountered when trying to run the profiling via AWS Glue Python Shell:

I'm happy to try the fix if you can release a beta version to PyPI as Glue installs dependencies via setup.py.

@mlevit As @sbrugman mentioned in beetbox/confuse#70 rebuilding https://pypi.org/project/pandas-profiling/2.4.0/#files (.whl file) with read=False in config.py seems to work. Tested this on AWS Glue python shell (python3).

[mlevit]

Great to hear @SudheerBondada. Does that mean the change can be merged @sbrugman ?

[sbrugman]

Thanks for the feedback guys. v2.6.0 contains the fix.
