Saving to a specific directory

[DeaD_EyE]

Use the modern API from pathlib.

Your path can be separated into different components:

• Original: C:\Users\blake\PycharmProjects\newb\out
  
• Path: C:\Users\blake\PycharmProjects\newb\
  File: out
  
• Home: C:\Users\blake\
  Pycharm: PycharmProjects
  Project: newb
  File: out
  

from pathlib import Path

HOME = Path.home() # <-- this is dynamic. It depends on OS and logged-in User
PROJECTS = "PycharmProjects"
PROJECT = "newb"
FILE = "out"

# path objects support concatenation with /

complete_path_to_file = HOME / PROJECTS / PROJECT / FILE

# path objects to have the open() method, which replicates the built-in open()
with complete_path_to_file.open("w") as fd:
    fd.write("Hello World")
    print("Written data to", complete_path_to_file)


# but works also with the built-in open()
with open(complete_path_to_file, "w") as fd:
    fd.write("Hello World")
    print("Written data to", complete_path_to_file)
