'No such file or directory' ERROR information when using "PRINT"

Question

When I 'print' some hex string, some interesting error information in python, I wonder why this error is caused.

Win10(I tried it on ubuntu, No ERROR),python 2.7

enc_hex = '''f982f01c'''
enc_ascii = enc_hex.decode('hex')
print(enc_ascii)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".\xxxx.py", line 7, in <module>
    print(enc_ascii)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Well,in fact I want to know why "print" a special set of hex will cause file operation, other hex string will not error

there is no parenthesis for print in python 2.7 `print enc_ascii` https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/inputoutput.html — WSMathias9, Apr 16 '19 at 03:48

Try using codecs.decode:

import codecs
enc_hex = '''f982f01c'''
enc_ascii = codecs.decode(enc_hex, 'hex')
print(enc_ascii)

Output:

b'\xf9\x82\xf0\x1c'

Thanks, The codec can solve this problem. And I want to know the reason of this error, I think print shouldn't to call the file operation – phantom0301 Apr 16 '19 at 03:54
@phantom0301 Because string actually doesn't have a function called `.decode`, Btw, please accept if it works. – U13-Forward Apr 16 '19 at 03:56
@phantom0301 Anyways, if it works, it's worth an accept – U13-Forward Apr 16 '19 at 07:10

it seems like directory problems . in windows you have to use forward slash (/) while accessing the directory.similar was happened in my case then i use forward slash in windows then it works.
