file open "no such file"

[Gary Wessle]

I am getting this error when I try to run the code below

*************** *
f = open("~/m", "r")
print f.read()
*************** *

*************** *
:~$ python python/my.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "python/my.py", line 1, in ?
f = open("~/m", "r")
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '~/m'
*************** *

but I have the "m" file in my home/username/


thank you

There is no automatic ~expansion. You will need to use the function
os.path.expandu ser().
