Getting a path from a file object

[Andrew Fong]

Newbie question:

Let's say I open a new file for writing in a certain path. How do I
get that path back?

Example:
'/some/path/file.ext'

Does some_function(f) already exist? And if not, how would I define
it?

Nope. But:

And if not, how would I define
it?

Not sure it's worth defining a function:

def some_function(f):
return f.name

Read about f.name which is a kind of read-only attribute with caveats
in the documentation:
