File Location

[vweb.we...@gmail.com]

I'm using tkinter with the default python shell (2.7).

When I try to load images, like a window icon or PhotoImage, it does not locate the image files.

All I want the program to do is load images from the folder where the .py file is located. Can anyone explain how to get IEP to do that?

I see a startDir setting in the Shell configuration, but I don't know what to put in there. I don't want to set it to a specific folder. I just always want it to load images from the same folder the .py file is located in.

If you run the file as a script (from the “Run” menu), the shell should change the current directory to the directory of the .py file that is being executed.

Just wanted to add:

1) using absolute locations is usually less prone to error, because the
current directory can be changed without you knowing it.

2) On Windows, either use "c:/foo/bar" or "c:\\foo\\bar", or
r"c:\foo\bar" (not the 'r' in front).

Oh, beautiful. :)

I don't know why I didn't try that. That works perfectly.

Thank you.
