problem with path

[mallikabiswas]

Hi all,
I have placed an test.xml file in the folder where I kept my programme(.py file).
Now when I am going to access this file like
f=open("test.xm l","r")
It is giving the error "No such file or directory called test.xml"

Please help.
Thanks.

Works good for me ...

karthikeyan@Pre yans-desktop:~/sample$ ls
test.xml
karthikeyan@Pre yans-desktop:~/sample$ python

Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Apr 21 2008, 11:12:42) 
[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> f=open("test.xml","r")
>>>

check for the directory with the command

>>>import os
>>>os.getpwd()
...
>>>os.listdir('.')
['test.xml']

verify if the file exists there and u are working in the right directory

Actually i did have the same problem today. The wierd thing was that it only applied to some files in the directory(not all of them). I just made a new directory and put the files in there and voala!...(of corse i changed the path in my script)
Im not sure what caused it. It would be interesting to know though.
