IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory – os.walk

Question

I\'m trying to run the following script which simply reads and image and saves it again:

from PIL import Image
import os

rootdir = \'/home/user/Desktop/samp         


        

Answer 1

You're going to need to provide a fully qualified path, because file holds only the tail, not the entire path.

You can use os.path.join to join the root to the tail:

for root, dirs, files in os.walk(rootdir):
    for file in files:
        path = os.path.join(root, file)
        im = Image.open(path)
        im.save(path)
