Creating files in specific path with python

is it possible to create a file with a specific extension, name and python with the sys module or any other module?

Thanks!

Solution

  • This should work with the path and the file name:

    import os

PATH = '/home/user/somepath'
FILE = 'somefile.someext'

os.makedirs( PATH, exist_ok=True)   # create the PATH if not exists

full_name = os.path.join( PATH, FILE )
with open( full_name ) as fout :
    print >>fout, 'some message'
