Thanks for writing this!

I set my path as ~/Downloads and got the following error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '~/Downloads'

It seems Python (I’m running 3.7.4) doesn’t recognise the ~ in the path. The fix was to use os.path.expanduser('~/Downloads') which worked as expected.
