Python error reading directory?

Question

I have the following Python script:

#!/usr/bin/python
import glob, os

os.chdir("/data")
for file in glob.glob("*.gz"):
    print(file)

When I run this script I get error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "python.py", line 3, in <module>
    os.chdir("/data")

The error message is missing at the end. E.g. I get "OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/data'" if there is no /data directory. — quantummind

Check if you have permission to your /data directory. Also check if it isn't in your home directory.

Yes, you are right, but now I get error: File "python.py", line 7 with open(file) as fd: ^ IndentationError: expected an indented block

That's an syntax error. You have not done the indentation right in your code

You've probably mixed tabs and spaces in your code.
