[FIXED] Python: The system cannot find the path specified: 'data'

Issue

I'm building a CNN using Python I have a folder of pictures for classification stored in D//Files directory however an exception keeps poping

code:

from keras.layers.core import Dense, Dropout, Activation, Flatten
from keras.layers.convolutional import Convolution2D, MaxPooling2D
from keras.utils import np_utils
from keras.preprocessing.image import  img_to_array



import numpy as np

# Image manipulations and arranging data
import os
from PIL import Image
import theano
theano.config.optimizer="None"

from sklearn.cross_validation import train_test_split
os.chdir("D:/File");

# input image dimensions
m,n = 50,50

path1="input";
path2="data";

classes=os.listdir(path2)

x=[]
y=[]
for fol in classes:
    print (fol)
    imgfiles=os.listdir(path2+'\\'+fol);
    for img in imgfiles:
        im=Image.open(path2+'\\'+fol+'\\'+img);
        im=im.convert(mode='RGB')
        imrs=im.resize((m,n))
        imrs=img_to_array(imrs)/255;
        imrs=imrs.transpose(2,0,1);
        imrs=imrs.reshape(3,m,n);
        x.append(imrs)
        y.append(fol)

x=np.array(x);
y=np.array(y);

batch_size=32
nb_classes=len(classes)
nb_epoch=20
nb_filters=32
nb_pool=2
nb_conv=3

x_train, x_test, y_train, y_test= train_test_split(x,y,test_size=0.2,random_state=4)

uniques, id_train=np.unique(y_train,return_inverse=True)
Y_train=np_utils.to_categorical(id_train,nb_classes)
uniques, id_test=np.unique(y_test,return_inverse=True)
Y_test=np_utils.to_categorical(id_test,nb_classes)

model= Sequential()
model.add(Convolution2D(nb_filters,nb_conv,nb_conv,border_mode='same',input_shape=x_train.shape[1:]))
model.add(Activation('relu'));
model.add(Convolution2D(nb_filters,nb_conv,nb_conv));
model.add(Activation('relu'));
model.add(MaxPooling2D(pool_size=(nb_pool,nb_pool)));
model.add(Dropout(0.5));
model.add(Flatten());
model.add(Dense(128));
model.add(Dropout(0.5));
model.add(Dense(nb_classes));
model.add(Activation('softmax'));
model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy',optimizer='adadelta',metrics=['accuracy'])


nb_epoch=5;
batch_size=5;
model.fit(x_train,Y_train,batch_size=batch_size,nb_epoch=nb_epoch,verbose=1,validation_data=(x_test, Y_test))


files=os.listdir(path1);
img=files[0] 
im = Image.open(path1 + '\\'+img);
imrs = im.resize((m,n))
imrs=img_to_array(imrs)/255;
imrs=imrs.transpose(2,0,1);
imrs=imrs.reshape(3,m,n);

x=[]
x.append(imrs)
x=np.array(x);
predictions = model.predict(x)

however this script does not run and gives me this in the consolem it seems that the path specified is not recognised (I'm using Windows with Python 3.6 and Spyder environment)

runfile('C:/Users/Monirah/.spyder-py3/semi1.py',

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified:

Solution

Use debug or start with printing out all the paths you use in your program and check that they are valid.
