I am using Ubuntu 18.04, Python 3.7.2 and mujoco (1.50). I have installed mujoco and gym with all the dependencies employing commands
pip3 install <package> --user
almost everything but import mujoco_py works. I can run the examples cartPole and pacman but when i try to import mujoco_py i got the following error:

PermissionError                           Traceback (most recent call last)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Apparently it is a permissions error but i do not know how to solve it. Sorry if its a very simple issue but i have been stocked here for a while and do not find solution. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Mujoco without cache but it did not work.

I'm getting the same issue.

This started happening to me recently as well. A simple fix is to just remove the build lock. If you're using a virtual environment, something like: path-to-venv/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/mujoco_py/generated/mujocopy-buildlock.lock.

The problem was the python version... the mujoco dependencies aparently are not compatible with the 3.7 versions, so i changed to the 3.6 version (made additional troubleshooting related to the OpenGL implementation with the graphics card) and it worked.

I was having the same issue when using this in a singularity img in the server. It was working fine locally but displaying error when I try import mujoco_py in the server.

I fixed it by installing mujoco-py-1.50.1.56 instead of mujoco-py-1.50.1.68.

>> pip3 install mujoco-py==1.50.1.56

1.50.1.56 version does not require lockfile package.

permission denied----> the simplest way to slove is "sudo chmod 777 ath-to-venv/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/mujoco_py/generated/"

I solved the problem using the same solution as NoobHua.

I received the following error:

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: b'/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mujoco_py/generated/mujocopy-buildlock'

I solved as follows:

cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mujoco_py
sudo chmod -R 777 ./ (change permission of all files in all subfolders recursively)

It works! Thanks a lot.
