You most likely have no file named words.txt in the directory from
which you are running your code.

You need to tell Python where the file lives. It is evidently not
in the same folder where you run the program(*) so you need to
provide the path.

(*)You can determine which folder python considers its home folder by
including this code in your program;

import os
print( os.getcwd() )  # get Current Working Directory

and you can see its contents with

print( os.listdir() )

So you need to provide the path. If you are using
Windows you should put an 'r' in front of the path,
like so:

fin = open( r"C:\Path\to\words.txt" )

or use forward slashes:

fin = open( "C:/Path/to/words.txt" )

Either technique will avoid python interpreting the '\'
as an escape character.

Hello,


How do I avoid this error message everytime I utilize wordlist = 
open("words.text") ?

>>> wordlist = open("words.txt")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
wordlist = open("words.txt")
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'words.txt'
>>> def calculate_abecedarian():
total_count = 0
for word in wordlist:
if is_abecedarian(word):
print (word)
total_count += 1
return total_count

or

>>> if __name__ == '__main__':
fin = open('words.txt', 'r')
print (no_contain(fin))


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 2, in 
fin = open('words.txt', 'r')
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'words.txt'

Me too.

What is print_n?

Which stack?
One in your program or the interpreters internal stack?

We need a lot more detail.

Welcome to Python-tutor.  This seems to be your first post.

Thanks for making it a text email.  And for mentioning your OS.  But you 
also should be specifying the Python version.


There's no attachment to your message in the mailing list.  And many 
people here can't see attachments anyway.  If your project is too big to 
include directly in your email message, you may be out of luck.


How big a project is it, and how much of it have you been able to do so 
far?  Is there some particular problem that has you stumped?


We're here to help you get past some sticking point, not to do your 
assignment for you.  I'd expect your prof would give you an extension if 
you can't get it in because of unexpected surgery.

First.
We won't do homework for you so we need to see what you have done.
You need to have made some kind of attempt. Or at least have some 
specific questions.


Second
Asking for a response on the day that the assignment is due on
a mailing list isn't going to work, it didn't get here until Sunday.
I hope you got something done on Saturday but you need to give
a mailing list a bit more notice. Email can take up to 24 hours to
reach its destination, never assume it will be quicker than that
(even if 99% of the time it is).

Third,
The attachment didn't get here. So I've no idea what your assignment 
was. Its usually better to copy the text into the mail body.


Fourth.
Please give more than the fact you've got a Mac. So have I; its an old 
iBook that runs MacOS 10.4 on a 600MHz PowerPC chip. I suspect that's 
quite different to yours. Tell us the OS version and the Python version 
you are using.

Given that the attachment was described as “my project”, I would advise
not sending it here in any form.

Copy text here if it's *small*, and *focussed*, and relevant to some
part of the discussion. If the text is “my project”, it's better not put
here at all.

I am glad the attachment was discarded, it sounds like sending it to all
recipients of this forum would have been only an annoyance.

Conner, please obtain the time to do the project unhurried; then, feel
free to come to this forum with *focussed* questions on aspects of the
Python code you are writing. We don't need to see the project.

My sympathies with your situation, I hope your surgery was successful
and you are in good health.

This is not a forum for doing your project; you will need to do your own
project.

Rather, this is a forum for publicly discussing much more focussed
topics. We tutor each other in learning Python and its idioms and
ecosystem.

We don't do one-on-one tutoring, and we don't do coding for you.

If you have a *small* portion of code that demonstrates some behaviour
that confuses you, we can talk you through the confusion (provided the
code can also behave the same for us, and provided we know what you
expected from that code).

If you have a large project, you'll need to do the work, or get some
largesse from the people expecting that work. It seems you have an
entirely valid reason to ask for a time extension.

Good hunting!

Peace,

I will throw out a few hints below. I suggest you familiarize yourself 
with desk checking - walking through the program by hand , writing 
down the values of variables at each step, and tracking the loops and 
conditions carefully.


# Word Jumble V2
# Computer jumbles a randomly selected word then asks the player to 
guess it

# If player cant guess the word he can ask for a hint


Note you don't offer a way to ask for a hint, you just give it.

# Scoring system that rewards players for solving jumble without a 
hint (not included in this code)



Get the rest working first.


import random

WORDS = (sweep,difficult, python, america)
HINTS = (remove dirt,not easy,computer language and a snake,
 land of the free)

word = random.choice(WORDS)
correct = word
jumble = 

while word:
position = random.randrange(len(word))
jumble += word[position]
word = word[:position] + word[(position+1):]


OK so far. The next loop does not make sense - it uses word to iterate 
thru WORDS but does nothing with word! Position is a constant (0) so all 
it does is compare remove dirt with sweeps 4 times.



for word in WORDS:
HINTS[position] == WORDS[position]

print\

Welcome to Word Jumble
Unscramble the letters to make a word
Remember Hints lower your score
(Press the enter key at the prompt to exit)

print The jumble is: ,jumble
guess = raw_input(Guess the word: )
guess = guess.lower()
tries = 1


OK again. The while condition below does not make sense. word will 
always be america (can you see why?)



while guess != word and word != and tries 5:
print Sorry! That's not it!
guess = raw_input(Guess the word: )
guess = guess.lower()
tries +=1
if guess == correct:
print You're right, the word is, word
else:
print Maybe you need a hint:
print HINTS[position]
guess = raw_input(Guess the word: )
guess = guess.lower()


The program at this point is not in any loop so it terminates.



raw_input(\n\nPress the enter key to exit:)

To start with, what did you possibly hope to do with:

for word in WORDS:
   HINTS[position] == WORDS[position]

The body of that loop does nothing at all.

What you really wanted was:
position = WORDS.index(correct)

Next, examine the phrase:

while guess != word and word != and tries 5:
   print Sorry! That's not it!


Why would you be comparing 'guess' against the highest word in the 
list?  Shouldn't you be comparing it to 'correct' ?
