Been working my way through an online Python course. Up until now I have
had no problems writing and running the programs using Python 3.6 in a
virtual environment and then pasting them into the courses editor.
When I run this program on my system I get the following error.
# file_io.py
def copy(file, new_file):
with open(file) as data:
text = data.read()
with open(new_file, 'w') as new_text:
new_text.write(text)
copy('~/Documents/Courses/ModernBootcamp/story.txt',
'~/Documents/Courses/ModernBootcamp/story_copy.txt')
(env36) jfb@jims-mint18 ~ $ python
'/home/jfb/Documents/Courses/ModernBootcamp/file_io.py'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/jfb/Documents/Courses/ModernBootcamp/file_io.py", line
11, in <module>
copy('~/Documents/Courses/ModernBootcamp/story.txt',
'~/Documents/Courses/ModernBootcamp/story_copy.txt')
File "/home/jfb/Documents/Courses/ModernBootcamp/file_io.py", line 4,
in copy
with open(file) as data:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'~/Documents/Courses/ModernBootcamp/story.txt'
The file is there.
jfb@jims-mint18 ~/Documents/Courses/ModernBootcamp $ ls
adding_to_lists.py errors.py functionsII.py helpers.py
modules.py stop_copying.py
animals exercise.py functions.py iteration.py
oop.py story.txt
decorators.py file_io.py generators.py list_comps.py
__pycache__ unlucky_numbers.py
dictionarys.py FirstProgram guessing_game.py list_methods.py
smiley_faces.py while_loop.py
I must be doing something wrong path-wise, but I can't seem to figure it
out. Any help appreciated.
Regards, Jim
