Hi Might be because os.path.realpath(__file__) is empty? (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7783308/os-path-dirname-file-returns-empty)

Can you try adding this: print(os.path.realpath(__file__)) above the currentdir = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)) line?

For me, on windows it prints something like this: C:\Users\MyUser\Documents\ChimpStackr\src\run.py. If it prints empty for you, you can try replacing line 8 with this: currentdir = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__) or ".").

Thanks for trying it out.
