python oserror errorno 39_python - OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '39'

-1

I have the following piece of code to make a directory on particular conditions.

def create_analysis_folder(self, analysis_id, has_headers):

path = None

if not os.path.exists(analysis_id):

os.makedirs(analysis_id)

os.chdir(analysis_id)

if has_headers == False:

path = os.getcwd() + '/html'

return path

else:

os.makedirs('html')

os.chdir('html')

shutil.copy("../../RequestURL.js", os.getcwd())

return os.getcwd()

Upon execution this gives me an error in line

os.makedirs(analysis_id)

The error says OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '39'. But I am in the processor creating a directory then why am I getting an error like this.

station 1,552 9 28 54      It seems your 'analysis_id' is number. Try converting it in string –

Ajay Tanpure Dec 29 '14 at 9:24 1   What is the traceback? Don't use

chdir, after executing

create_analysis_folder you never know, in which directory you are actually. –

The problem is your chdir as I already stated in my comment. Here's what happens:d this error and what to do answer 1 >>---Accepted---Accepted---Accepted--- Have you noticed that you don't get the error if you run python ./script.py instead of python script.py This is because sys.argv[0] will read ./script.py in the former case, which gives os

>>> os.makedirs('a/b/c') # create some directories

>>> os.chdir('a/b/c') # change into this directory

>>> os.rmdir('../c') # remove the current directory

>>> os.makedirs('z') # trying to create a directory in a non-existing directory

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 1, in

File "/.../python2.7/os.py", line 157, in makedirs

mkdir(name, mode)

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'z'

The correct way, to handle such a problem is:

BASE_DIR = os.getcwd() # or any other path you want to work with

def create_analysis_folder(self, analysis_id, has_headers):

if not os.path.exists(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, analysis_id)):

os.makedirs(os.path.join(BASE_DIR,analysis_id))

path = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, analysis_id, 'html')

if has_headers:

os.makedirs(path)

shutil.copy(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "RequestURL.js"), path)

return path
