how to create a file in Mac cloud drive using python

Question

I am trying to create a file in my cloud drive in a python code. When i create a file at this location"/Users/agauravdeep/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Untitled.rtf " using any app, it works but through code, i am unsuccessful so far(no errors though) even after trying through super user.

Code is pretty straightforward

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
#!/usr/bin/python

from os.path import expanduser
def createBugsFileInitiallyIfNotPresent():
                    global bugsFileLocation
                    bugsFileLocation =  expanduser("~")+"/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/abc.txt"
                    if(os.path.isfile(bugsFileLocation)):
                            f = open(bugsFileLocation, 'w+')
                            f.write(" dddd ")

This works Also, vi ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/abcd.txt but when i put quotes around path it doesn't work.

Any suggestions would be very helpful.

You are checking if the file exists, but you say that you want to create it. If you plan to create a new file, remove the if statement:

from os.path import expanduser
def createBugsFileInitiallyIfNotPresent():
                global bugsFileLocation
                bugsFileLocation =  expanduser("~")+"/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/abc.txt"
                f = open(bugsFileLocation, 'w+')
                f.write(" dddd ")
