python - to_excel on desktop regardless of the user -

-

is there way use pandas to_excel function write desktop, no matter user running script? i've found answers vba nothing python or pandas.

pandas.dataframe.to_excel() requires argument excel_writer either file path or existing excelwriter-object.

just give path argument:

>>> df.to_excel('path_to_your_file.xls')

more specifically, write users desktop, use os.path.expanduser:

>>> path = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), "desktop", "your_file.xls") >>> df.to_excel(path)

os.path.expanduser guarantees you'll home directory of user on posix , windows there many corner cases should take account.

for example on windows, if users home directory managed via active directory, you'll home directory resides on network drive, , there might not desktop -folder. similarily linux users have free hands rename or delete folder called desktop. or might not have desktop folder, linux doesn't need window manager run.
