FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory 'example.py'

[Anonymowzzz]

I've been trying to run a python example by copying and pasting your code. I have copied and pasted the code into a file 'example.py'

I have verified that the file does indeed exist now in the same directory I used to successfully run example_scenes.py SquareToCircle

I have typed:
python3 -m manim example.py TangentVector -pl

It says that example.py is not there

It is there

Therefore wtf please help

Points to consider before writing your issue

• This repository works with the Manim version of February 3, unless otherwise indicated. If your code does not work, check that you are using the correct version.
• At the moment Manim works with Python 3.7, not with 3.8. This is because several of the dependencies have not yet been updated.
• If the terminal throws an error, please write it completely with the markdown format.
• Be clear and specific with your problem, share the code (and files, if applicable) and the command you use when rendering the video.

Learn to use the terminal before using Manim, clearly you are doing something wrong in the terminal and I am not going to explain such basic things.
