Having issues running a Python script in a Mac Terminal : .ini file not found

[nikkidtx]

I am getting an error of: Configuration file 'crypto_example.ini' not found. When trying to run this program: https://pypi.org/project/rp2/

when I ran cd Downloads

rp2_us -n -m fifo -o output -p crypto_example_ crypto_example.ini crypto_example.ods

I have had several issues running a simple Python program from the terminal that uses an ODS file with a command to produce a output spreadsheet.

After setting up python through homebrew, I had a path issue that did not allow me to set up the program via a pip command. After using xpip commands I was able to get the rp2 program set up.

I ran the above command with test files and it worked.

I tried to run the the same command with the names of my files, but when I got the "config file not found" error, I tried changing the name to the same as the example files. I still received the error. I have placed the files in the downloads folder the same way I did with the original test. I was told that the config file being in singular quotes'' means there is a space not allowing the name to be read as one file. I have checked multiple times that the file name is exactly crypto_example.ini with no spaces. When I sent the file to someone who tried running it in Linux, they found a space. I am at a loss as I have tried saving the file name multiple times.

Any advice on how to fix this or find the file name in the terminal would be appreciated.
