How can you set your path = Path to automatically be a users Downloads folder?
Question:
I am wanting to set up a system of CSV formatters in conjunction with a PySimpleGUI program. I want the output file to go to the users Downloads folder, but currently I know how to only use the Path method for my own Downloads folder. If I packaged this up, it would not be dynamic.
path = Path(r"C:\Users\xxx.xxxxx\downloads\Finished_File.csv")
I am unsure of other ways to go about auto-filling the user info without inputting it manually
My only other thinking is perhaps have this change dynamically with PySimpleGui using a list of potential names, and then having the user set who they are?
Answers:
Find it manually before saving uisng pathlib
from pathlib import Path
users_download_path = str(Path.home() / "Downloads")
res =str( users_download_path) + '' + str('Finished_File.csv')
path = Path(res)
