(venv) C:\Users\zappa>zappa init
Access is denied.
(cannot run this to run to get json)

(venv) C:\Users\zappa>zappa
Access is denied.

python -m zappa
C:\Users\merlinn\PycharmProjects\lambdazapptest\venv\Scripts\python.exe: No module named zappa.main; 'zappa' is a package and cannot be directly executed
(the above is understood but thought i should include to help if anything)

python version 3.8. windows 10 with full rights on project folder.
