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.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

it encrypt it whit AES

[proper crane]

run with sudo or open your terminal as administrator and run your script

[lost nacelle]

did it but it not encrypt

and me runned it in sandbox

First, speak properly. I manage to tolerate Gen Z speak. This is giving me a headache.

Secondly, can you share your code please?

!pastebin if its too long

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

!codeblock if its not too long

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

!traceback if there is any

Traceback

Please provide the full traceback for your exception in order to help us identify your issue.
While the last line of the error message tells us what kind of error you got,
the full traceback will tell us which line, and other critical information to solve your problem.
Please avoid screenshots so we can copy and paste parts of the message.

A full traceback could look like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "my_file.py", line 5, in <module>
    add_three("6")
  File "my_file.py", line 2, in add_three
    a = num + 3
        ~~~~^~~
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

If the traceback is long, use our pastebin.

this right

[proper crane]

Did you run it in a terminal as Administrator?

[lost nacelle]

yep

[proper crane]

Can you share a screenshot?

[lost nacelle]

now i cant

sry

[proper crane]

can you try again?

[crystal atlas]

That is not photo as you claimed in your first message. That is system file that keeps the desktop configuration. You must've moved it there when copying files from desktop or something.

Make the code actually filter only photos

[lost nacelle]

ok

chatgpt fixed it
