Issue
This is very similar question to this one, but for Python instead of powershell. It was also discussed here, and here, but no working solutions are posted.
So, is there a way to create a directory in Python that bypasses the 260 char limit on windows? I tried multiple ways of prepending \\?\
, but could not make it work.
In particular, the following most obvious code
path = f'\\\\?\\C:\\{"a"*300}.txt'
open(path, 'w')
fails with an error
OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: '\\\\?\\C:\\aaaaa<...>aaaa.txt'
Solution
Thanks to eryksun I realized that I was trying to create a file with too long of a name. After some experiments, this is how one can create a path that exceeds 260 chars on windows (provided file system allows it):
from pathlib import Path
folder = Path('//?/c:/') / ('a'*100) / ('b'*100)
file = folder / ('c' * 100)
folder.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
file.open('w')
