So, I installed EPD python for mac. From the terminal I go into a directory where the file I'd like to read exists. In a python program I create a 2 column data array and below I open it as "f3". The line in bold is that referenced in the error. fwiw I'm just trying to do an easy x,y plot and this is my first python attempt. .... f3=open(sys.argv[1]+ext, 'r')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np x,y=np.loadtxt(str(f3),unpack=True) plotfile='sys.argv[1].png' plt.plot(x,y) plt.xtitle('step number') plt.ytitle('energy') plt.grid("off") plt.output(plotfile,'png medium transparent picsize 600 400') f3.close() .... ***error below&*** File "SCFscript.py", line 40, in <module> x,y=np.loadtxt(str(f3),unpack=True) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.0/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/lib/npyio.py", line 635, in loadtxt fh = open(fname, 'U') IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: "<open file 'gq_1014.log.hy', mode 'r' at 0x2a93e8>" ***** The file exists, I checked. Where is it looking? In the python framework directory above? Shouldn't it be opening the file from the current directory? Am I missing something here?
