Hi How do I create a valid file name and directory with pathlib?
When I create it using PurePosixPath I end up with an OSError due to an obvously invlaid path being created. import pathlib for dates in fullUrl: # print(dates) time.sleep(0.3) r = requests.get(dates) data = r.json() if data["RaceDay"] is not None: file_name = data["RaceDay"]["Meetings"][0]["VenueName"] + data["RaceDay"]["MeetingDate"] + '.json' result_path = pathlib.PurePosixPath(r'C:\Users\Sayth\Projects\results', file_name) with open(result_path, 'a') as f: f.write(data) ##Output C:\Users\Sayth\Anaconda3\envs\json\python.exe C:/Users/Sayth/PycharmProjects/ubet_api_mongo/json_download.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/Sayth/PycharmProjects/ubet_api_mongo/json_download.py", line 40, in <module> with open(result_path, 'a') as f: OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: 'C:\\Users\\Sayth\\Projects\\results/Warwick Farm2017-09-06T00:00:00.json' Process finished with exit code 1 Not sure exactly which way to fix it.
