On a fresh install of Win7 Ultimate, I created your program & the text file in one folder, then copied the program both using ctrl-c/ctrl-v and later ctrl-drag-&-drop. In both cases, the copied program *did not* refer to the text file when executed: D:\projects>a Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\projects\a.py", line 1, in <module> track_file = open("verify.txt") IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'verify.txt' Whatever you seem to think you did, you didn't, or you're not providing enough detail on what you did to repeat the behaviour. I do agree with the sentiment that this isn't a Python issue. |
