How to add hidden attribute to an open file

Question

I have this code here that creates a file f = open("data.txt", "w+") but I also want it to be hidden so I was thinking maybe something like this f = open("data.txt", "wh+").

Does this answer your question? [How can I make a file hidden on Windows?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43441883/how-can-i-make-a-file-hidden-on-windows) — Mandera, Dec 10 '20 at 06:39

According to docs these are the available modes

'r':open for reading (default)

'w':open for writing, truncating the file first

'x':open for exclusive creation, failing if the file already exists

'a':open for writing, appending to the end of the file if it exists

'b':binary mode

't':text mode (default)

'+':open for updating (reading and writing)
