Hi Jim,
You may need to use os.path.expanduser, as "tilde expansion" isn't
something that's done automatically.
This is referenced in the docs when they say: "Unlike a unix shell, Python
does not do any automatic path expansions. Functions such as expanduser()
and expandvars() can be invoked explicitly when an application desires
shell-like path expansion. (See also the glob module.)"
https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html#module-os.path
Try adding a call to os.path.expanduser()
https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html#os.path.expanduser on that
tilde-prefixed path string.
Hope this helps!
Danny,
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I had tried replacing the
~ with home/jfb/... now I realize it should have been /home/jfb/...
Working now.
Thanks, Jim
