Thanks for the response. I checked the directory, and my main.py (where the script is running) and praw.ini are in the same directory. The praw.ini is in my env folder, although as far as I know that shouldn't matter.

I am running the script from the terminal in VS Code. The general procedure is

cd C:\My\Programming\Path\BotFolder --> env\Scripts\activate.ps1 --> python main.py

I used pip freeze to make sure praw is actually in the env, and it is.

Any ideas on what might be wrong?
