where is the file created    In the application s current working directory  You can use os getcwd to check it  and os chdir to change it   Opening file in the root directory probably fails due to lack of privileges

The besty practice is to use     and a so called  raw string  to define file path in Python   path   r C  Test py    However  a normal program may not have the permission to write in the C  drive root directory  You may need to allow your program to do so  or choose something more reasonable since you probably not need to do so

I recommend using the os module to avoid trouble in cross-platform   windows linux mac   Cause if the directory doesn t exists  it will return an exception    import os  filepath   os path join  c  your full path    filename   if not os path exists  c  your full path        os makedirs  c  your full path   f   open filepath   a     If this will be a function for a system or something  you can improve it by adding try except for error control
