File operations in code-playground possible?

Question

Hi @ all,
I have 2 separate files in code playground which I startet one after the other:
.
# file1.py
with open("info.txt", "w") as fh:
word = "How much is the fish?"
x = fh.write(word)
print(x)
.
#file2.py
with open("info.txt", "r") as fh:
word = fh.readlines()
print(word)
.
When running file2.py I get a "file not exist" error.
Could You please explain the reason to me?
.
Many thanks in advance

Answer 1

Yeah it doesn’t work in code playground I’m pretty sure, you have to download Python IDLE

Answer 2

Hmm... perhaps it is still possible to somehow dig into your file if you save it as a code and link through code.sololearn.com... download it, save it as a file and exec() it.

Unless they have the "access denied" policy there ;)

Hi Ole,
thank You for Your answer.
I have Python IDLE on my computer and there it works without problems, but I just wanted to try whether CodePlayground is capable of this task, but, regarding to Your response, it seems to be not working on the SL-server.

Answer 4

If you first *create* or *download and save* the file, you can operate on it(even run it if it is a script!) in the split-second of the remote Python machine's run.

Take a look:

Answer 5

Hi Kuba,
thanks for Your response. :-)
That means, what I wanted to do is only possible for a very short timespan.
What I wanted to test was, whether I could write data to a file on SoloLearn, and come back to it days or months later, but this seems to be not possible.
