[Fixed]-Django IOError – No such file or directory

Your source file is located in \\10.8.0.1\share\djprj\djprj\djprj\egais\, that means line:

MYDIR = os.path.dirname(__file__)

will store that path in MYDIR variable, but your file is located in different directory. First, try to use:

MYDIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__)))

that will give you path \\10.8.0.1\share\djprj\djprj\. Now, you should add one more /static to line:

with open(os.path.join(MYDIR, '/static/egais_files/client.xml'), 'w') as f:

so it will look like:

with open(os.path.join(MYDIR, '/static/static/egais_files/client.xml'), 'w') as f:

And it should give proper file path.

Unless the file containing some_view is located in \\10.8.0.1\share\djprj\djprj\static\ you’re not giving the right path. I suspect it is in \\10.8.0.1\share\djprj\djprj\ meaning you need to add ‘/static/’ to the path.
