os.makedirs related problem
-
I’m stuck with creating a directory with code below with Python 3.6 in Pythonista. I seem to get OSError every single time. Any guesses why?
try: os.makedirs(temp_label_path, mode=0o777, exist_ok=True) except OSError as e: sys.exit("\nCan't create {dir}: {err}".format(dir=temp_label_path, err=e))
Where temp_label_path in my iPad is:
/private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/9A1B62CB-9238-4CF8-9A2E-AFE1A2A2457B/tmp/ari_temp/images/supi02 -
@arikontiainen this path is not in Pythonista Files, thus you can't create a file/folder there

@cvp Ok, that is good to know. Thanks.
What would be a correct way to create a temp directory, in which I could create folders and store files? I used
tempfile.gettempdir()
to get a starting point.

@arikontiainen I've created (manually 😀) a permanent temp directory for temporary files
