[Tutor] cannot find html file, in the same dir as python file

[monikajg at netzero.net]

I put 

print( os.getcwd() )

into my script, and got 

C:\Users\Monika\Documents\PythonWeb\class3code\class3code

So I put into my script:

base_url = 'C:\Users\Monika\Documents\PythonWeb\class3code\class3code\button.html' instead of base_url = 'button.html'
and ran it andI got a popup message in python:


(unicode error) 'unicodesscape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3; truncated  \UXXXXXXXXescape

Have you tried giving it the full path?

Have you tried asking Python where it is looking, eg

print( os.getcwd() )

Just in case Python is not running where you think
it is - I can't remember how windows decides... and
its better not to guess anyway.
