How do I create a file at a specific path?

Question

In python I´m creating a file doing:

f = open("test.py", "a") 

where is the file created? How can I create a file on a specific path?

f = open("C:\Test.py", "a") 

returns error.

Answer 1

I recommend using the os module to avoid trouble in cross-platform. (windows,linux,mac)

Cause if the directory doesn't exists, it will return an exception.

import os  filepath = os.path.join('c:/your/full/path', 'filename') if not os.path.exists('c:/your/full/path'):     os.makedirs('c:/your/full/path') f = open(filepath, "a") 

If this will be a function for a system or something, you can improve it by adding try/except for error control.
