Lets say you have: /home/user/project/ /home/user/project/images /home/user/project/scriptst/game.py
You say: cd /home/user/project/ python scripts/game.py You would want your images referenced as "images/image.png" If however, you say: cd /home/user/project/scripts python game.py You would want your images referenced as "../images/image.png" In other words, your image path is relative to where you cd to, not where game.py is.
