title: Python cannot see csv file
body: <p>I went through couple answers on forum already but without any success.
  I am using Linux mint, Python 3.6.0 and i am trying to open CSV in Python but then error occurs:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  file = open("~/Desktop/xyz/city.csv", "rb")
  FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '~/Desktop/xyz/city.csv'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import csv
  
  file = open("~/Desktop/xyz/city.csv", "rb")
  reader =csv.reader(file)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried to move the file to desktop as in some answers i found, instead of path i used "city.csv". Still doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>Completely new to Linux and just can't find why this isn't working.</p>
  
  <p>Each reply appreciated!</p>
