IOError when trying to open existing files

I’m having problems opening a file with open() in python 3.3, any idea why?

I’m trying

import os

filelist = [ f for f in os.listdir( os.curdir )]
singleFile = filelist[a]
hppfile = open(singleFile, 'r')

And I get

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '-file that is actually inside the directory-'

Ideas?

On Windows, I just started this to learn this to write few quick scripts

If you read the documentation for listdir you will see that it returns filenames and not full path.

You will need something like

current_dir_path = os.getcwd()
open(os.path.join(curren_dir_path, file), 'r')
