this is what i've tried, seems the most simplest way to me:

Code

f = open ("C:\users\user\desktop\noextension","w+") #This shows no error
f.write("test") #This says that file is unwritable

Any suggestions?

How can i edit a file without extension? [Python3]

I'm guessing you edit the same way you would edit a file with an extension.

Hmm. well that means it has insufficient permissions probably. try just "w" not "w+".

If not, see if you can find the file extension

It shouldn't have a problem reading a file that doesn't have an extension. I just double checked it for myself.

Code

@pandora:~$ cat noext
nothing here
@pandora:~$ python
...
>>> f = open('/home/moi/noext', 'w')
>>> f.write('still nothing\n')
>>> f.close()
Ctrl-D
@pandora:~$ cat noext
still nothing

If you want to create the file using Python first, then I would recommend using...

Code

import os; os.mknod("newfile.txt")

It's a little naughty but it's usually gets the job done without over complicating things.

I think that backslashes in path should be all escaped. Try it with ("C:\\users\\user\\desktop\\noextension","w+")
