[Python] py-near ValueError: access key ed25519:[KEY] does not exist while viewing. when...

I was trying to send near tokens from one account to another with this function:

async def send_tokens(address, amount):
tr = await acc.send_money(address, NEAR * amount)
print(tr.transaction.hash)


on the testnet

tr = await send_tokens("bob.testnet", 1)


while reading the balances work fine. i get an error when trying to send tokens.

here is the full traceback:
