<P><FONT size=2 face="Courier New, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif">SOMETHING=/home/mahmood/scripts</FONT></P>
<P> </P>
<P>Now I want to open that file with respect to the environment variable:<BR><FONT size=2 face="Courier New, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif"> import os<BR> env = os.getenv("SOMETHING")<BR> print env</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face="Courier New, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif"> infile = open("env/sc_1.sh","r")</FONT></P>
<P> </P>
<P>But here is the error I get:<BR><FONT size=2 face="Courier New, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif">/home/mahmood/scripts<BR>Traceback (most recent call last):<BR> File "test.py", line 7, in <module><BR> infile = open("env/sc_1.sh","r")<BR>IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'env/sc_1.sh'</FONT></P>
<P> </P>
