Image.open no such file or directory

I posted this in discussion, but maybe it is more appropriate here:

I have been working with some starter code and have run into a snag.

I am using Image.open() to import one of the example images (cat.jpg in this case). Instead I get FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'cat.jpg'

I dug into a different example I found online, and theirs gave a path to the image: Image.open('data/src/lena.jpg'). Running that gives the same error. In this case, yes, I found src (https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/tree/main/src), but that doesn't contain any images. I did find some in https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/blob/main/Tests/images/. Is this the new path we should be using? EDIT: trying Image.open("Tests/images/hopper.jpg") gives the same error.

Opening an image with Pillow works the same as opening a file with basic Python. If you give an absolute path it will try to load an image from the file at that path; if you give a relative path it will try to load an image from the file at the relative location to your current location.

What is the fully qualified file system path to cat.jpg?

Once you know that, then you can try Image.open('/the/fully/qualified/local/file/system/path/to/cat.jpg')

Thank you. Resolved.
