Error when opening a file

Question

when I try opening a file using the right syntax, I get a FileNotFoundError which says : No such file or directory

Answer 1

Verify that your path is right, and if not absolute, verify that the current working directory is the one you think by adding these lines in your script:

import os
print(os.getcwd())

Anyway, if you search the path of the running script file (which is not necessarly the current working directory), you can get it by this way:

print(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

Answer 2

Its likely that your path to the file is incorrect
