I use python in Windows XP platform. I find that if I write a .py file in a directory, such as windows desktop, in which a file named 'ticket.txt' is located:
f=open("\ticket.txt") print f.read() In IDLE, this py file work all right. But if I launch python interpretor in the command shell like this: C:\Documents and Settings\Xiaozhong Zheng>python "C:\Documents and Settings\Xiao zhong Zheng\Desktop\t.py" The interpretor would not find the file. Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Documents and Settings\Xiaozhong Zheng\Desktop\t.py", line 1, in ? f=open("ticket.txt") IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'ticket.txt' Anyone knows why? In addition, if I start IIS web service that runs .py file as CGI program, then this .py file also works. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
