Answer 1

it depends on the folder where you are running the script, not the script folder.

For get the real path to the directory where your script are, you can use it :

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

open(dir_path + '/' + 'data.json')

After further research. I noticed that the catch here is to explore python’s os module. Tutorials are available online from the various site.OS module helps your program communicate with the underlying Operating system. Issues I had raised are handled explicitly by the OS module.

To solve the problem you must move the data.json file out of the the python script folder,and then run the program.

Your code is perfectly fine.
