Lets say we have a script in  c  script py  that contain    result   open  index html   r   print result read      Lets say that the index html file is also in the same directory  c  index html  when i execute the script from cmd  or shell    C  Users Amine gt python c  script py   You will get error   FileNotFoundError   Errno 2  No such file or directory   index html    And that because  index html  is not in working directory which is  C  Users Amine    so in order to make it work you have to change the working directory   C  python script py    lt html gt  lt head gt  lt  head gt  lt body gt  lt  body gt  lt  html gt     This is why is it preferable to use absolute path

When you open a file with the name address csv  you are telling the open   function that your file is in the current working directory  This is called a relative path   To give you an idea of what that means  add this to your code   import os  cwd   os getcwd      Get the current working directory  cwd  files   os listdir cwd     Get all the files in that directory print  Files in  r   s     cwd  files     That will print the current working directory along with all the files in it   Another way to tell the open   function where your file is located is by using an absolute path  e g    f   open   Users foo address csv

You are using a relative path  which means that the program looks for the file in the working directory  The error is telling you that there is no file of that name in the working directory    Try using the exact  or absolute  path
