Code with a leftover Colab Drive path

Code review · Basic · §9.5 Where is it, and how is it written?

You got some code that someone else used in Colab with Google Drive connected. It adds today's subscriber count to the end of a record file and counts the records. When you run it, it stops with an error.

The record file subscribers.txt is in the current folder. Fix one line.

Code to fix

path = "/content/drive/MyDrive/subscribers.txt"
today = 248

with open(path, "a", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    f.write(f"{today}\n")
with open(path, encoding="utf-8") as f:
    lines = f.readlines()
print("Number of records:", len(lines))

File subscribers.txt
