Writing to a new directory in Python without changing directory

Question

Currently, I have the following code...

file_name = content.split(\'=\')[1].replace(\'\"\', \'\') #file, gotten previously
fileName = \"/\" + self.feed + \"/\" +         


        

Answer 1

This will create the file feed/address/file.txt in the same directory as the current script:

import os

file_name = 'file.txt'
script_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
dest_dir = os.path.join(script_dir, 'feed', 'address')
try:
    os.makedirs(dest_dir)
except OSError:
    pass # already exists
path = os.path.join(dest_dir, file_name)
with open(path, 'wb') as stream:
    stream.write('foo\n')
