What to do if cmd gives errror: "python: can't open file 'C:\Users\Username\3.9.1': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Question

(Python 3.9.1) File was compiled with sublime 3

Answer 1

go to the python script dir and try running the cmd there

Answer 2

it means the file doesnt exist. You cant just provide a filename. Wherever your code is being saved is the current working directory. if you want to reference a file, you should provide the full path from root or C drive

Answer 3

with this command, you should be able to see name of your python file in a list:

import os
print([i for i in os.listdir() if ".py" in i])

and then you can get full path of your python file with this command:

print(os.path.abspath("your_file_name.py"))

Answer 4

Raphael Thikusho II run this command in your python script

Answer 5

Is the file called '3.9.1'? If it is actually named '3.9.1.py' you should refer to it as such.

Also one should not put dots in filenames unless it is for defining file extensions or such errors appear.
