How to create a file using python in exos

[Mateusz_Haba]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a local file for writing and looks like I don't have a permission to do so.
I'm using custom created account but with admin privleges.

Is there any place in EXOS filesystem with write permissions?

Dunno why but I tried to create a file in /usr/local/cfg before and couldn't. I also tried at /usr/local/tmp but that didn't work either. Finally, I did it like this at /usr/local/cfg:

with open('test.xsf','w') as f:
f.write('something to file')

Thanks 

You can use the open() function. I am using an admin account called pythonuser and running a pythong script that creates a file called thisFileWasCreatedWithPython.log.

code:

    fileName = "thisFileWasCreatedWithPython"
    f = open('/usr/local/cfg/' + fileName + '.log', 'a')

I have RW permissions on the file after running my script:

code:

# ls *.log
-rw-r--r--    1 admin    admin      241770 Apr 11 21:29 thisFileWasCreatedWithPython.log

What version of EXOS are you using and can if you try the using the above in your script are you running into the same read only permission problem?
