The file was not created. I made one manually but still nothing was written in it. Any idea why? I am on OSX. I have done other exercises where databases were created in the same folder and info written in but file.write() doesn't work for some reason. Tried with sudo or specifying the whole path with no success.

with open("filepath", "w") as f:
f.write("file content")
If this is similar to what you have done, then it is a permission thing. Try doing it in a different folder.
