File name as part of output file name

[Jeeping_Coder]

I am very new to Python, and have run into an issue. I am trying to output several different formats of GPS into different KML files. I have my original CSV filename I have to type in manually, but then I want it to spit out the CSV filename with "_fmt1", "_fmt2" so in the end it generates "filename_fmt1.kml", "filename_fmt2.kml" and so on.

Here is what I have.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

with open('filename.csv', 'r') as csvfile:     TM_Data = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=',')     for column in TM_Data:     time.append(str(column[0]))     fmt1Lat.append(column[1]))     fmt1Lon.append(column[2]))     fmt2Lat.append(column[3]))     fmt2Lon.append(column[4]))     fmt3Lat.append(column[5]))     fmt3Lon.append(column[6]))   kmlfmt1=simplekml.kml() kmlfmt2=simplekml.kml() kmlfmt3=simplekml.kml() for I in range(len(time)-1):     if i % 10 is 0:         #a bunch of stuff that doesn't matter.   kmlfmt1.save('_fmt1.kml') kmlfmt2.save('_fmt2.kml') kmlfmt3.save('_fmt3.kml')

Save the filename as a variable. Then you can use it in multiple places:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

filename = 'filename' with open(filename + '.csv', 'r') as csvfile:     TM_Data = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=',')     for column in TM_Data:     time.append(str(column[0]))     fmt1Lat.append(column[1]))     fmt1Lon.append(column[2]))     fmt2Lat.append(column[3]))     fmt2Lon.append(column[4]))     fmt3Lat.append(column[5]))     fmt3Lon.append(column[6]))    kmlfmt1=simplekml.kml() kmlfmt2=simplekml.kml() kmlfmt3=simplekml.kml() for I in range(len(time)-1):     if i % 10 is 0:         #a bunch of stuff that doesn't matter.    kmlfmt1.save(filename + '_fmt1.kml') kmlfmt2.save(filename + '_fmt2.kml') kmlfmt3.save(filename + '_fmt3.kml')
