question on the OS module of python

Question

If I want to create a file with the OS module in python that has a different expansion, like .gz(google zip), how can I do it?

Answer 1

You don't even need to use the OS module for that. You can just use the default 'open()' function and type in the file name:

open("file.gz", 'w')

Disclaimer: I don't use Python that often, so I could be wrong. And if something is binary, you'll want to open it in binary mode: open("file.gz", 'b')
