I am trying to run this code in Pycharm, but I'm getting below error:
TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType
This is for windows 10, running on Pycharm, python 3.7
import os
import time
file_path = os.path.join(os.getenv("HOME"), "birth_day_lookup.txt")
def check_birthday():
lookup_file = open(file_path, 'r')
today = time.strftime('%d-%B')
flag = 0
for entry in lookup_file:
if today in entry:
line = entry.split(' ')
flag = 1
os.system('notify-send "Today is '+line[1]+' '+line[2]+'\'s Birthday"')
if flag == 0:
os.system('notify-send "No birthday for today is listed"')
check_birthday()

Apparently os.getenv("HOME") would return a Nonetype value if the environment variable doesn't exist.
Try os.getenv('HOME', "not found") to be sure. --gives output as "not found" if the env is not available.
Rather, you can use os.getcwd() if the .py file exits in the same directory as birth_day_lookup.txt. Hope this helps.
Delete .condarc file in location C:\Users\UserName\
Python expects that there will be, for example, a string (str) or a PathLike object, which you can read about in the official documentation
