Just specify the full path to the output dir: save('/path/to/my/data.dat') or use the os modules built-in functions for cross-platform path handling: save(os.path.join(outdir, filename)) > B) Create a directory I tell it to save to if it doesn;t already exist You can use os.mkdir. mpl svn has a function cbook.mkdirs to recursively make a directory path.
