FileNotFoundError when writing txt file

Question

I am using the following code to write list items to a .txt. I get a FileNotFoundError error at a specific file and cannot figure what causes the issue.

if os.path.isdir(f'C:/Users/Info/Desktop/Dissertation/Impression Management/Analyse/10 CEO Transcripts/Interviews WORK/{deal_no}/Earnings Calls Texts/{year}') == True:
    with open(f'C:/Users/Info/Desktop/Dissertation/Impression Management/Analyse/10 CEO Transcripts/Interviews WORK/{deal_no}/Earnings Calls Texts/{year}/{fulldate}_{file}.txt', 'w') as filehandle:
        for item in textlist_new:
            filehandle.write(f'{item}\n')

Error message:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:/Users/Info/Desktop/Dissertation/Impression Management/Analyse/10 CEO Transcripts/Interviews WORK/3032771020/Earnings Calls Texts/2017/February 22, 2017_Event Brief of Q4 2016 Arris International PLC Earnings Call Q4 2016 and Acquisition Update - Final.pdf.txt'

However, the directory does exist and previous txt files were created without problems.

Does this answer your question? [Pathname too long to open?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36219317/pathname-too-long-to-open) — Pranav Hosangadi, Jan 17 '23 at 17:56
(The one I linked before, in my now-deleted comment, was the wrong duplicate) — Pranav Hosangadi, Jan 17 '23 at 18:01
Thanks! Would never had thought that the length of the directory causes the problem. — xxgaryxx, Jan 17 '23 at 20:46
