语法错误：扫描字符串文字时 EOL，不创建并写入文件

Question

I am trying to create a file in APPDATA\\Roaming Directory and then write some text to the File. Its a Text file and hence does not work as its supposed to

I am getting This as Error

C:\pytut>python appdatapath.py
  File "appdatapath.py", line 4
    file = path + "\" + 'keys.txt'
                                 ^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal

what can I say is possibly wrong? My codes Looks like this below

import os

path = os.getenv('APPDATA')
file = path + "\" + 'keys.txt'

with open(file,'w') as f:
     data = 'Hello Jasmine!'
     f.write(data)
print('Done!')

Kindly assist where I got it wrong. Started Python some few days ago.

You better use os.path.join() function

import os.path
path = os.getenv('APPDATA')
file = os.path.join(path,'keys.txt')
