Census cells carry small, deliberate privacy adjustments, so each figure is shown as published and none are combined. Signature project ## It worked on the agent's machine We exported road segment totals for the Clarence council area from the LIST into data/clarence_roads.csv. Our scripted agent wrote scripts/report.py, which opens "data/clarence_roads.csv" and adds up the rows. We ran it from two folders, then ran a corrected version. | Script and folder | Output | | --- | --- | | report.py, from the project folder | segments 14374 km 1837.0 | | report.py, from the scripts folder | FileNotFoundError: data/clarence_roads.csv | | report_fixed.py, from the scripts folder | segments 14374 km 1837.0 | | report_fixed.py, from the project folder | segments 14374 km 1837.0 | | Road class | Segments | Recorded length | | --- | --- | --- | | Access Road | 6,141 | 752.3 km | | Local Road | 4,877 | 434.7 km | | Vehicular Track | 1,410 | 398.3 km | | Collector Road | 746 | 67.8 km | | Arterial Road | 549 | 66.7 km | | Sub Arterial Road | 383 | 53.8 km | | National/State Highway | 268 | 63.4 km | ### Why it broke A relative path is resolved from the folder Python was started in, not the folder the script lives in. The agent tested from one place; a person ran it from another. ### The tempting fix Copying the data file into the scripts folder makes the error go away and leaves two copies that will drift apart. Agents sometimes do exactly that. ### The real fix Build the path from the script's own location: Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent / 'data' / 'clarence_roads.csv'. It works from anywhere. ### Ask where it will run Before accepting agent-written code, run it from a different folder, or ask the agent how it finds its files. Hidden assumptions about the working directory are among the most common reasons code works in a demo and fails in use. The road totals come from the LIST, State of Tasmania, via its map service's statistics query for segments intersecting the council boundary. The scripts, folders and outputs are our own; the agent is our own short script standing in for one, not a commercial AI model. Agents and files ## Paths that do not depend on luck A short guide to finding files reliably in Python. | Approach | Works from any folder? | Note | | --- | --- | --- | | open('data/file.csv') | No | Depends on the current folder | | Path(__file__).resolve().parent | Yes | Anchored to the script itself | | A path passed as an argument | Yes | The caller decides explicitly | | os.chdir() at the top of the script | Yes, but risky | Changes state for everything else | ### Primary learners Give directions to a toy box from the kitchen, then try the same directions from the garden. ### Secondary learners Ask an AI tool for a script that reads a CSV, run it from two folders, and fix it with pathlib. ### Adults Check scheduled jobs and agent-written tools at work for relative paths before they run unattended. print(Path.cwd()) at the start of a script shows the working directory in one line. It is the quickest way to explain a FileNotFoundError that seems impossible. Around Clarence ## Sealed streets and long rural tracks Council-wide markers from the LIST open data and the Tasmanian school calendar. ### Surfaces Of the 14,374 segments, 9,016 are sealed, 5,143 unsealed and 215 need four-wheel drive. ### Places and addresses The LIST records 510 points of interest and 30,912 address points in or on the council boundary, counts only. ### Term 3, 2027 Tasmanian government school Term 3 of 2027 runs from 19 July to 24 September. Clarence council area Figures describe the Clarence local government area, not Greater Hobart. By the ABS boundaries it touches Brighton, Sorell and Southern Midlands on land; the City of Hobart lies across the river. Learning ladder ## From giving directions to robust scripts Ages are a loose guide; a trial lesson finds the level. Ages 6 to 10 ### Scratch and play Clear instructions and where things live in a project.

[Generative AI Course](/courses/complete-generative-ai-masterclass-college)[Codex & Claude Code](/courses/codex-and-claude-code-ai-coding-agents-masterclass-for-adults-professionals)Vibe coding and agents ## If the agent ran it, why does it fail for you? Because the agent ran it from somewhere you may not be. Coding agents usually work inside one project folder and test from there. Their scripts pass every check they run. The first time a person double-clicks the file or a scheduler starts it elsewhere, a relative path points at nothing. Learners who have seen 14,374 become FileNotFoundError with no code change check how files are found in any script an agent writes. That small habit separates a demo from a tool people can rely on. In Clarence, the learner who anchors file paths ships scripts that run from anywhere. The longer argument is in [why knowing how code runs still matters alongside AI](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Delivery ## Clarence lessons online All lessons are live on video, with no trip across the bridge. ### Run it twice Learners test agent code from more than one folder while the teacher watches. ### Term-time classes Lessons follow the Tasmanian school year and pause in holidays. ### A free start One complete lesson without charge, then a written suggestion. ### Groups of fifteen to twenty Learners matched by level, or private sessions. ### Twice weekly Two fixed lessons a week, about eight each month. ### India time Teaching comes from India: a 7pm Clarence class is 1:30pm India time in summer and 2:30pm after April. Hobart clocks Hobart changes to daylight saving on the first Sunday in October and back on the first Sunday in April (IANA time zone database); India stays on one time. Fees ## Clarence class fees Three fixed prices, whichever suburb a learner lives in. First class**USD 0** The first lesson is free and comes with written advice. Group tuition**USD 100** About eight group lessons a month with fifteen to twenty learners. Private tuition**USD 150** About eight private lessons a month. Clarence families pay in US dollars once the trial has fixed a course and time. The pricing page sets out holidays and missed lessons.

FAQ ## Clarence vibe coding and agent questions Questions asked across the Clarence council area. ### What is the population of the Clarence council area? The 2021 Census QuickStats count 61,531 residents in the Clarence local government area, with 17,067 families and 25,855 private dwellings. ### What is the working directory in Python? The folder a program was started from. Relative file paths are resolved from it, not from the folder where the script file is saved. ### How do I make a script find its data file from any folder? Build the path from the script's location with pathlib, for example Path(__file__).resolve().parent, or pass the full path in as an argument. ### How many road segments does the LIST record for Clarence? The LIST transport layer returned 14,374 road segments intersecting the Clarence council area in October 2026, with 1,837.0 km of recorded length across its road classes. ### What is an AI coding agent? An AI system that writes, runs and edits code over several steps to complete a task, rather than answering a single message. ### Which AI tools will a Clarence teenager use? Tools suited to their age. Claude appears only in our adult courses, which start at 18. ### Is there a classroom in Clarence? No. Lessons are live online only, we have no Australian office, and our listed phone number is Indian. ### What do lessons cost for Clarence learners? The first lesson is free. Group classes cost USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, about eight a month, in groups of fifteen to twenty, and one-to-one classes cost USD 150 a month. You agree the course and time before paying. ### Who is in each group? Fifteen to twenty learners at a similar level and pace, not sorted by age or suburb. One-to-one lessons suit anyone no group time fits. ### Is Copilot Studio part of the Clarence group course? No. We teach Copilot Studio only in private sessions, while group learners write their agents in Python.
