Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

[tropic oxide]

are you getting an error?

[quiet cypress]

Do you get a traceback? You should post that

[calm wave]

yes

[quiet cypress]

(always post the traceback if you have one)

[calm wave]

sorry my bad

[quiet cypress]

Use a code block rather than a screenshot

[tropic oxide]

your cwd likely isn't set to the same place as your files.py

[calm wave]

cwd?

[tropic oxide]

current working directory

try commenting out all the code and doing this

[quiet cypress]

You can use HERE = pathlib.Path(__file__).parent

[tropic oxide]

import os

print(os.getcwd())

[tropic oxide]

parent is a property, not a method

[calm wave]

PS C:\Users\tejesh\Desktop\PYTHON\!> & "C:/Program Files/Python312/python.exe" c:/Users/tejesh/Desktop/PYTHON/!/FILES/files.py
C:\Users\tejesh\Desktop\PYTHON\!

[quiet cypress]

Then contents = (HERE / 'hi.txt').read_text("utf8")

Indeed it's a property oops

[tropic oxide]

so you would need to do open('FILES/hi.txt') instead

[calm wave]

oh

thanks :))
