Python Development Techdegree Graduate 26,264 PointsGetting error when trying to run play.py, I redid the video three times now still getting it.
When trying to run play.py I get error: python: can't open file 'play.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory. Also have checked to make sure it is in the RPG folder
I am using python play.py I checked that the file was named play.py even copied file name to run it.

If neither of these work, try making a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here. That will enable us to replicate your issue.

4,181 PointsI had the same problem and this is what I typed. python rpg/play.py and it worked if. If you will notice in the video his work space had the rpg/: already added to it but mine didn't. just something to watch for in future videos. Silas
