Python Module change folder name

Question

I am in the process of transferring my data science projects from the desktop to the Cloud and find it very interesting and started working with Google Colab recently.

Currently, I am working in a notebook and I imported a Python module (.py file) with functions that I wrote. In this module, some functions state that Python should open a file from folder “data”, which was a folder on my desktop. Now I am getting the following error message:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'data/my_filename.csv'

What should I change in my .py file so that the correct CSV files will be opened? All CSV files are now transferred to Google Drive.

You have `'data'` in your Python code, but you want to access some other directory? Well, change `'data'` to `'something else'`. — zvone, Jan 10 '21 at 19:17

zvone is right. Actually, I did change that but found out that I repeatedly made a mistake not to include /content/drive in the path.

a good practice would be to make it a parameter (as a constant or a variable). – mansuetus Jan 15 '21 at 08:10
