Modify location for for to_csv function loop in python

Question

I am using the jupyter notebook to write my code. In the end, I want to generate several CSVs based on the value in the REGION column. I know how to do it. But I am not sure how to put all of them in one specific folder (the following code automatically put all new CSVs to the jupyper notebook location. I am trying to put it in a folder in my desktop).

Thanks in advance

    file_name = 'new_{0}.csv'.format(u) 
    df[df['REGION'] == u].to_csv(file_name, sep=',') ```

You can do this

import os 
import pandas as pd

path = "" # Path to the folder you wish to keep your file under

for region in df['Region'].unique():
    file_name = os.path.join(path,f'new_{region}.csv')
    df[df['REGION'] == region].to_csv(file_name, sep=',',index=False)
