How to open files in Android?(Python)

Question

I want to open a ".txt" file usin SoloLearn's playground.
It keeps giving me a file not found error.
My code was,

open("/storage/emulated/0/Downloads/mytextfile.txt")

Answer 1

I don't think you can access your filesystem through sololearn. You can use some other IDE like Pydroid https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.iiec.pydroid3

Answer 2

You need to put "//" double slash instead of single / slash.
Like
open("storage//emulated//0//Downloads//mytextfile.txt")
