Do I need to pass the full path of a file in another directory to open()?

Question

I have a folder with ten files in it which I want to loop through. When I print out the name of the file my code works fine:

import os
indir = \'/home/des/te         


        

Answer 1

You have to specify the path that you are working on:

source = '/home/test/py_test/'
for root, dirs, filenames in os.walk(source):
    for f in filenames:
        print f
        fullpath = os.path.join(source, f)
        log = open(fullpath, 'r')
