You didn't set the current dir, so first, the place to create your new file/directory is underteminated ^^ Well, you're probably in a sub-directory of QPython app, or of your script, but maybe not... Try to choose an absolute path, to be independent from the emplacement of script/app, and be sure to choice a directory with write access ( on android this may require some authorizations, even impossibility to access external sd card, but you have at least the directory of app authorized )

thanks i am working on a crawler program and i was trying to use the os.functions to create files to store the crawled urls and i get an oserror saying" oserror: [ errno 30] read only file system. this is the code i wrote: import os # each website you crawl is a different project(file) def create_project_dir(directory): if not os.path.exists(directory): print("Creating project" + directory) os.makedirs(directory) create_project_dir('thenewboston')
