python use os.path.join to take specific location

Question

I need to save a folder called D:\MyPc if the hostname is MyPc

name_file = open("D:/Others/name.txt" , "r") data = name_file.readline() name_file.close() print(os.path.join("D:\", data))

the output is D:
MyPc

What is in data? I'm surprised that "D:\" parsed, but if data is a fully qualified path name, the join won't change it. — tdelaney

Instead of opening a file we don't have access to, just initialize data to something that we can test. The code you post will raise a syntax error and I don't see any way that it could produce the output shown. — tdelaney

Also, there is an error in your code. Change the last line to have double backslash in string:

print(os.path.join("D:\\", data))
