filename = in python

To specify a filename in Python, you can simply create a string variable and assign it to a filename of your choice. Here's an example:


main.py
filename = "example.txt"
25 chars
2 lines

If you want to specify a file path along with the filename, you can use the os module to manipulate file paths. Here's an example:


main.py
import os

# Specify a filename
filename = "example.txt"

# Specify a folder to store the file in
folder = "my_folder"

# Create a file path by joining the folder and filename
file_path = os.path.join(folder, filename)

# Print the file path
print(file_path)
259 chars
14 lines

This will output:


main.py
my_folder/example.txt
22 chars
2 lines

Alternatively, you can use the pathlib module to manipulate file paths. Here's an example:


main.py
from pathlib import Path

# Specify a filename
filename = "example.txt"

# Specify a folder to store the file in
folder = "my_folder"

# Create a file path by joining the folder and filename
file_path = Path(folder) / filename

# Print the file path
print(file_path)
267 chars
14 lines

This will output:


main.py
my_folder/example.txt
22 chars
2 lines
