Step 1

• Create a new Python file in PyCharm by right-clicking the project you created and selecting New > Python File.

Step 2

• Import the OS and datetime modules.

import os
import datetime

Step 3

• Create an infinite loop.

while True:

Step 4

• Within the loop, print the current working directory.

print("Current directory: " + os.getcwd())

Step 5

• Ask the user for a directory name and store the name in a new variable.

new_dir_name = input("Choose a name for a new directory: ")

Step 6

• Create the specified directory and navigate to it.

os.mkdir(new_dir_name)
os.chdir(new_dir_name)

Step 7

• Print the current directory to verify that you moved it to the newly created directory.

print("Current directory: " + os.getcwd())

Step 8

• Create an if statement that will check if the directory exists.

if new_dir_name:

Step 9

• Ask the user for a file name and store the name in a new variable.

file_name = input("Choose a text file name ")

Step 10

• Open the newly created file with read and write permissions

with open("{}.txt".format(file_name), "w+") as new_file

Step 11

• Print a message to tell the user the file was successfully created and the current date and time.

new_file.write("New file was created, good job!" + str(datetime.datetime.now()))

Step 12

• Add a line to list the contents of the current working directory and then add a break.

print("The following files are in the directory: " + str(os.listdir()))
break

Step 13

• Write a try block to handle the file access.

try:

Step 14

• Add an except block to the try block to handle exceptions.

except:
    print("Error")
