Saving files to different folder

Question

I´m trying to save converted excel files from different paths, to the same folder.
How can I pass the path to the function correctly?
Now what is happening is that it is attaching the original path to the save path I have given to the function.

So my solution was:

import pandas as pd
import glob
import csv, json
import openpyxl
from pathlib import Path
import os, os.path
import errno

destination_path = "C:\csv_files"

all_paths = [r"C:\PLM\PML.xlsx",r"C:\TMR\TMR.xlsx",r"C:\PLM\PLM.xlsx"]

Create variable to store tuple list

all_items = []

Create tuple list with file path and file name without extension

def getFileName():

for paths in all_paths:
    all_items.append((paths , paths.split("\")[-1].split(".")[0]))

Convert given files by iterating through tuple list and pass destination folder.

def convertFiles():

for item in all_items:
    read_file = pd.read_excel(item[0], 'Relatório - DADOS', index_col=None, engine='openpyxl')
    read_file.to_csv(destination_path + "\"+ item[1] + ".csv", encoding='utf-8', index=False)

You can ensure the save folder exists by adding this line before the outer for loop:

Path(save_path).mkdir(exist_ok=True)

See documentation.
