Consider using "with" to automatically close the file and os.path for cross-platform compatibility: import os.path user_home = os.path.expanduser('~') test_absname = os.path.join(user_home, 'Desktop', 'test.txt') with open(test_absname, 'w') as test: test.write('testing 1... 2... 3...') -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
