Having trouble with opening files in shell, Python & Databases

I am running on workspaces on chrome, windows 10. I can't access my '.py' file in the shell as it believes "No such file or directory" . I have the workspace snapshotted below. Python3 file.py, ./file.py and so on are not working for me with my shebang in place either unfortunately, I just can't run it for errors and you know basically can't continue.

Where you located inside the folder when you tried to run the file? For example, you have a diary.py file inside of a diary folder. If you try to run python diary.py when you are located at treehouse:~/workspace$ then you will get an error that the file doesn't exist. You need to navigate into the folder with cd diary. Your location should then change to treehouse:~/workspace/diary$ and you can then run python diary.py.
