FileNotFoundException for python file in windows - windows

Question

I am trying to learn pyspark. I have installed python 3.6.5 on my windows 10 machine.
I am using spark version 2.3.
I have downloaded zip file from git. I have a WordCount.py file with me.
When I try to run the command in cmd:
spark-submit WordCount.py
I am getting the below error.
I am executing this command in the directory where I have copied WordCount.py.

Answer 1

there is a space in the name of the course projects directory.
try moving your project to another directory without a space
