This question has a very similar structure to this link: How do I open an image from a different directory in python for pygame

However, the answer they used is not working for me

File structure is as follows:

Root:
    external_assets
        picture_assets
    personal_project
        sprite_library.py

I'm in sprite_library.py, looking for "../external_assets/picture_assets/picture_i_wnat.png", but when I use os.curdir, it says I'm in Root, and pygame gives me this error:

FileNotFoundError: No such file or directory.

This tells me that it either isn't going to the right parent, or there's something else going wrong

Are you asking for help with code you have not posted? – Scott Hunter Aug 12 '21 at 12:10
"FileNotFoundError: No such file or directory." - This simply means that the file is not there on the directory doesn't exist. – Rabbid76 Aug 12 '21 at 13:30
The file path needs to be relativ to the current working directory, not to the application directory – Rabbid76 Aug 12 '21 at 13:32
