404 Not found, file does not exist

See original GitHub issue

I have this structure

gui.py
web/
  index.html

And this inside gui.py

import eel
eel.init('web')
eel.start('index.html')

When I run the script I get this

Why is that?

Hey everyone, I fixed this issue by using os.path and use the full path like so:

import eel
import os

dirname = os.path.dirname(__file__)
eel.init(os.path.join(dirname, "www/"))
eel.start("index.html")

My folder sturcure is: gui.py www/ index.html

It seems to be the usual path problems with Windows systems. @ChrisKnott maybe have a look at a way to fix this for the different os types or add a note to the readme?
