Create file from Python WB

[project4]

Hi guys,

I'm involved in WorkBench development written in Python.
For debug purposes I need to create a file from within the python code.
Is there a way to do it?

I've tried to call open("filename", "w"), but got "Read-only file system" exception...

If not, is there any other ways to output data beside the FreeCAD.Console.PrintMessage?

Thanks.

here a sample code for writing a file to home folder

Code: Select all

import FreeCAD, os, sys
from os.path import expanduser

home = expanduser("~")
out_file=os.path.join(home,'myfile.txt')
FreeCAD.Console.PrintMessage (out_file)
FreeCAD.Console.PrintMessage ('\n')
mycontent=['Hello','this is a second line','and then a third']
with open(out_file, 'w') as my_file:
    for item in mycontent:
        my_file.write("%s\n" % item)

you need to define the folder in which you are going to write the file.
And the folder must be writable
