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.

chilly widget my file?????????????

Have you looked in C:/Users/zinif?

See the CMD prompt. That shows your "working directory", what we think of as "where your programme runs".
If you open a file with a relative pathname like "swew.txt" that is where the realtive pathname starts from.

One more thing.

hmm?

The common convention for opening a file is like this:

with open("swew.txt", "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    f.write("some text")

The with will close the file automatically for you, even if something goes wrong.

#

Note the stuff using f is indented to be "inside" the with
