Use a context manager to open a file.
Just give the whole destination path, to save the file somewhere.
You can use relative paths, then the current working directory is your start point.
Absolute paths begins with a slash and they are independent from current working directory.
with open('your_folder/yourfile.csv', 'w') as fd:
# fd is the resulting file object
# fd is closed automatic when leaving the block (context manager)To manipulate paths, you should use the pathlib.from pathlib import Path
directory = Path('target_directory')
# task write files with 0.csv, 1.csv, 2.csv ...
for name in range(0, 10):
name = str(name)
destination = (directory / name).with_suffix('.csv')
with destination.open('w') as fd:
# code to write content
passor globbing like you do it in the shell:from pathlib import Path
directory = Path('target_directory')
for file in directory.glob('*.csv'):
with file.open() as fd:
# code to read content
pass
