Path not found when executing my python script from my cmd prompt

folders

I have a python script that uses classes from a file next to my main.py named 'src'. These classes use images from the file 'img' next to main.py as well.

I'm writting the path as follows :

"img/myImage.gif"

When I run it from my python shell it works fine but I just can't run it using the command prompt (path not found).

I tried

"/img/myImage.gif" and "./img/myImage.gif"

and also moving my 'img' file to src, and to main.py's parent file but it doesn't work..

I'm out of ideas.. any assistance would be appreciated, Thanks,

This is what you need to do for you folder structure,

program
   main.py
   src
      __init__.py //empty py file
      classA
           __init__.py
           classA.py

      classB
           __init__.py
           classB.py

"../../img/myimage.gif"          // to use in classA.py file

More Explanation:

if your main.py is in 

    src
       main.py
    img
       myimage.gif

use this

"../img/myimage.gif"

if your folder structure is (moving img inside src)

-src
    main.py
   -img
       myimage.gif

you need to use like below

"img/myimage.gif"
