Apps Appropriate Save Directory for Developers

[Arosrheoc]

I recently installed the Python Interpreter with Kivy, and I can't help but notice that any progress I would save goes into folders I don't really want to start storing files in. Is there a folder that I can safely create a home for anything I edit/create with the Python app?

My Device is:

Samsung Galaxy Note 5

Bump?

Bump?

I'm guessing our non-developers probably haven't ever used Python on an Android device (I have not, either).

I'll go-ahead and move your thread to our Application Development area for you in hopes you'll find a few Python-knowledgeable folks in there.

Cheers!

I appreciate you moving it to the right section. I wasn't able to determine if it was the right one or not, and I didn't immediately see any thread titles "Developer". Perhaps I should have been more thorough in my searching. Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm new but serious about my new endeavor.

At the risk of spamming, bump yet again.
edit:
If I could determine a solution or safe practice for myself or through google search I already would have.
The reason for my query is to determine what the best practice is for saving and retrieving work done on a mobile device.
In the last 4 days I've experimented with small scripts I've learned to write but haven't saved to any of the directories on my device.
If I save in the wrong directory I risk corruption (I think, hence my OP)
Anyone willing to share their experience?

There are, of course, Java API calls that will tell you the proper / available external storage locations, but I can't tell you what the Python equivalent of those are.

There is the default "$HOME" location for that each app has which is it's /data/data/<packagename> folder (usually in a files subfolder in there). If you can establish how to determine that for/in that app then you should be able to use that area. This is where an app can store it's preferences / settings, for example.

Have a peek at the Android documentation and try to convert the Java-based API calls/references to whatever would be the Python equivalent.

Cheers!

I'm executing basic scripts but not saving my work.

I think I'm just going to try to create a new folder myself by adding one in after I plug it in to a desktop.. I'm not new to programming and one sure way to ruin things is to run/save things in the wrong directory.
