How to save a file with python in different location?

Question

I am creating a file with the help of python programming language in my hard drive. The code I am using is:

file = open('test.txt','w')

file.write('Blah Blah')

file.close()

This code creates test.txt file in hard drive but the file is saved in the default location of project. I want to save the file in other location like desktop or somewhere else. Can anyone tell me how to do this.

I am using python 3.5

Thanks in Advance,

Answer 1

Just specify the location in a string variable and then added to the name of file you want to create with doing open :

import os
my_dir = 'C:\\Test\\My_Dir'
file_name = 'test.txt'
fname = os.path.join(my_dir, file_name)
file = open(fname,'w')

Answer 2

打开文件时需要传递完整的绝对或相对路径：

file = open('/My/Example/Desktop/test.txt','w')
