Location of ini and py files on Rasberry Pi

[NAP1947]

I am not conversant with Python 3 ins and outs and have followed the submissions related to the error attributed to using Python 2 instead of Python 3.

I am using Python 3.7.3 (default, Jul 25 2020, 13:03:44) on a raspberry Pi 3.

My files are located as follows," pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls
A-OK_AM43_Blind_Drive Desktop Downloads Pictures Templates
Bookshelf Documents Music Public Videos"

The files are, pi@raspberrypi:~/A-OK_AM43_Blind_Drive $ ls
AOK-AM43.ini AOK-AM43.py README.md

I am getting the error message from Python exactly as listed in the Read.Me file, "ERROR: Cannot find ini file: A-OK_AM43_Blind_Drive/AOK-AM43.ini! Correct the path in this script or put the ini file in the correct directory. Exiting."

I do not see help in the discussions in the previous issues.

Can someone help, I hope I have provided enough information.

I had the same issue. TBH I don't understand the logic of the code looking for the ini file in the relative path A-OK_AM43_Blind_Drive/AOK-AM43.ini if the python script is running inside the A-OK_AM43_Blind_Drive directory. anyways, I just changed that line in the script to point to the absolute path. In your case should be ~/A-OK_AM43_Blind_Drive/AOK-AM43.ini if that doesn't work run the following commands:

cd ~
pwd

cd ~ will take you to your home directory, pwd returns the full path, edit the python script and set inifilepath to the output of pwd + /A-OK_AM43_Blind_Drive/AOK-AM43.ini

Thank you lutierigb, sorry it has taken so long to reply but we took some time away for our anniversary.
I issued the CD~ and PWD commands which returned home/pi/
I made the suggested change for the call at line 34 to read (inifilepath = "home/pi/A-OK_AM43_Blind_Drive/AOK-AM43.ini") as you recommended.
When I run the script I get the message (ERROR: Cannot find ini file: home/pi/A-OK_AM43_Blind_Drive/AOK-AM43.ini! Correct the path in this script or put the ini file in the correct directory). Still very confused am I am sure this is just lack of experience.

should probably be /home/pi/A-OK_AM43_Blind_Drive/AOK-AM43.ini instead of home/pi/A-OK_AM43_Blind_Drive/AOK-AM43.ini
