How are you running the code? If you are doing pandas.read_csv('train.csv'), the 
file must be in the current working directory of the running process. The 
location of the .py file contain the code is not relevant. For example, if you 
are using an IDE to run the script, you may need to configure how it runs the 
script to pick a particular directory for it to run in.

Since the filename of regression_2.py in the traceback is fully-qualified, I 
expect that you are running the program from something other than the 
c:\Project_1\ directory.
