Re: [Zope] Creating files on server

Wouldn't you want to use os.path.join() to retain OS-independence?? e.g. filename = os.path.join('c:\\', 'temp', 'testfile.txt')

Remember, the '\' is an escape character in Python. You need to double it when you embed it in a string, like so:

filename='c:\\temp\\testfile.txt'

Or you can use the raw string syntax:

filename=r'c:\temp\testfile.txt'

I don't know if a Zope Python script supports the raw syntax, but I doubt if it will let you write a file to the filesystem. An external method is no doubt what you want.
