In Python, the Touch module is used to create any file on any specified directory. The touch module is equivalent to linux command ‘touch‘ or to the windows’ cmd command ‘ type null > ‘.

Installation:

This module does not come built-in with Python. To install this module type the below command in the terminal.

pip install touch

Example 1: In this example, we will create a file inside a same directory.




import touch
  
touch.touch("success.java")


Output:

python-touch

Example 2: In this example, we will create a file in a different directory. Here we create a file in “testm” folder.




import touch
  
touch.touch("testm / success2.java")


Output:

python-touch

Example 3: In this example, we will create a multiple files at the same time. For this, we need to pass the file name in a list.




import touch
  
touch.touch(["testm / success100.java", "success10.cpp"])


Output:
python-touch
