Simple: the directory "~" doesn't exist. Since you're not using a
shell (but direct file access) there is no tilde expansion, and "~"
is treated as a regular file name. If you need to get the home
directory refer to the environment variable HOME
(os.environ["HOME"]). There even may be a shorter way, please refer
to the os module docs.
