Got my first Python script to run without errors after three days of trying

Last week, I was stuck trying to make a script that would rename a bunch of files in a folder. I kept getting a 'FileNotFoundError' every time. I finally figured out I had to use the full path to my 'Downloads' folder on my Windows machine, not just the file name. It felt so good to see it work and rename all 47 files. Has anyone else had a simple path issue trip them up for way too long?

Three days for a path issue?

Ever try to fix a simple thing for hours? I spent a whole afternoon once because a screw was just a quarter turn loose. The noise was driving me nuts.

My neighbor's dryer took a week to fix because a single belt was upside down. It's always something tiny.
