Hi
How do I create a valid file name and directory with pathlib?
When I create it using PurePosixPath I end up with an OSError due to
an obvously invlaid path being created.
You're on Windows. The rules for POSIX paths don't apply to your file
system, and...
OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument:
'C:\\Users\\Sayth\\Projects\\results/Warwick
Farm2017-09-06T00:00:00.json'
... the colon is invalid on Windows file systems. You'll have to
replace those with something else.
I haven't followed closely, so this may well not be an issue here, but
the colon is valid on a Windows file system; it introduces an alternate
data stream:

So this is perfectly valid on Windows:
with open("temp.txt:abc", "w") as f:
f.write("abc")
