Can't open "deploy.prototxt.txt" in function 'ReadProtoFromTextFile'

Python

I am facing the following error while running my code.

[INFO] loading model...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "detect_faces.py", line 31, in <module>
    net = cv2.dnn.readNetFromCaffe(args["prototxt"], args["model"])

#Full Code:

from imutils.video import VideoStream

ap = argparse.ArgumentParser()
ap.add_argument("-i", "--image", required=True,

print("[INFO] loading model...")

image = cv2.imread(args["image"])
(h, w) = image.shape[:2]
blob = cv2.dnn.blobFromImage(cv2.resize(image, (300, 300)), 1.0,
	(300, 300), (104.0, 177.0, 123.0))

print("[INFO] computing object detections...")
net.setInput(blob)
detections = net.forward()

for i in range(0, detections.shape[2]):
	
	confidence = detections[0, 0, i, 2]
	
		box = detections[0, 0, i, 3:7] * np.array([w, h, w, h])
		(startX, startY, endX, endY) = box.astype("int")
 
		text = "{:.2f}%".format(confidence * 100)
		y = startY - 10 if startY - 10 > 10 else startY + 10
		cv2.rectangle(image, (startX, startY), (endX, endY),
			(0, 0, 255), 2)
		cv2.putText(image, text, (startX, y),
			cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 0.45, (0, 0, 255), 2)

cv2.imshow("Output", image)
cv2.waitKey(0)

os.path.exists(args["prototxt"])

does it?

prototxt=‘deploy.prototxt.txt’
model=‘res10_300x300_ssd_iter_140000.caffemodel’

Doing this solved it.
