python cross platfrom FILE IO - shift838 - Nov-18-2018

So, am very new to Python.

I want to create a program that can be ran on Windows / Linux that access the file system to execute a file with arguments.

With the file systems being different between the two OS's can this be done ?

If so can someone point me to where I need to read?

Thank you,

It can totally be done. The file system operations are made to be platform independent from the programmer's perspective. There is a short tutorial on this site for files. You may also want to look at the os module. It has many file system operations beyond basic opening and reading of files.
