Trouble with writing .zip file on server in python

Question

I trying write .zip file, what i getting from HTTP

decode data from base 64:

dataFile = base64.b64decode(b64DataString)

make zipfile from bytes:

zf = zipfile.ZipFile(io.BytesIO(dataFile), "w")

trying to write my .zip file:

zf.write('C:\temp\file.zip')

and here, on "write('C:\temp\file.zip')" i allways get "OSError". What i am doing wrong?

It could sound stupid a bit, but are you sure your server is running on Windows? — sortas, Aug 02 '20 at 11:05
It is Windows 10, can be reason in lack of admin privileges at the my server? — dark, Aug 02 '20 at 12:04

Based on previous issues, there're a couple of ways to can provide a path to write method:

Escape dashes, so it'll look as 'C:\\temp\\file.zip'
Use "raw" form, so it'll look as r'C:\temp\file.zip'
Use pathlib (possibly a best solution, because cross-platform) so it'll look as:

import pathlib
pathlib.Path('C:/temp/file.zip')
