Python 101: Cant open file: No such file or directory

Python 101: Cant open file: No such file or directory

Python cannot access the files in the subdirectory unless a path to it provided. You can access files in any directory by providing the path. python C:Python27Projectshello.py

I resolved this problem by navigating to C:Python27Scripts folder and then run file.py file instead of C:Python27 folder

From your question, you are running python2.7 and Cygwin.

Python should be installed for windows, which from your question it seems it is. If which python prints out /usr/bin/python , then from the bash prompt you are running the cygwin version.

Set the Python Environmental variables appropriately
, for instance in my case:

PY_HOME=C:optPython27
PYTHONPATH=C:optPython27;c:optPython27Lib

In that case run cygwin setup and uninstall everything python.
After that run which pydoc, if it shows

/usr/bin/pydoc

Replace /usr/bin/pydoc
with

#! /bin/bash
 /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/cmd /c %PYTHONHOME%Scripts\pydoc.bat

Then add this to $PY_HOME/Scripts/pydoc.bat

rem wrapper for pydoc on Win32
@python c:optPython27Libpydoc.py %*

Now when you type in the cygwin bash prompt you should see:

$ pydoc
 pydoc - the Python documentation tool

 pydoc.py <name> ...
   Show text documentation on something.  <name> 
   may be the name of a Python keyword, topic,
   function, module, or package, or a dotted
   reference to a class or function within a
   module or module in a package.
