OSError: No such file or directory

Question

When I try to open .h5 file, it shows the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\VW3ZTWS\PycharmProjects\Data_Collection_and_learnings\venv\lib\site-packages\IPython\core\interactiveshell.py", line 2869, in run_code

OSError: Unable to open file (unable to open file: name = '28ggv-016.h5.h5', errno = 2, error message = 'No such file or directory', flags = 1, o_flags = 2)

Code I used:

import h5py
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
filename = '28ggv-016.h5'
f = h5py.File(filename, 'r')

Probably could not find the file. Give the full path, double check it exists where you think it should. — DirtyBit, Mar 06 '19 at 10:28
Yes when i give the absolute path it reads !!!! @reportgunner But what is the reason, for not opening directly ? — Mari, Mar 06 '19 at 10:30
you are most likely executing the script from a directory different than the `.h5` file — , Mar 06 '19 at 10:31

Ctrl + Shift + C to copy the complete path of the file and paste it inside your filename:

import h5py
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
filename = 'dir:\your\path\to\the\file\28ggv-016.h5'
f = h5py.File(filename, 'r')
