Python can't see your file. You can check what python
is seeing by importing os and using listdir():

import os
os.listdir(',')  # . is the current directory

If your file is not listed then that's your problem.
Or it could be a permissions problem, but I can't
recall if that's a different error message, I suspect
so.
