title: Assigning a filepath to a variable in Python 3
body: <p>I am trying to convert few camera-clicked images of handwritten Gujarati characters to the form of MNIST dataset as I intend to pass the Gujarati handwritten characters images to the MNIST deep learning model. And as part of that, I'm trying to assign a file path to a variable named "datadir". But when executing the below code in Ubuntu 16.04, the terminal throws the error which looks like this:
   File "gujaratinn.py", line 7
      datadir = /home/cryptoaniket256/Desktop/opencv-3.4.1/project/Resize
                ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax</p>
  
  <h2>Note that the name of the file is gujaratinn.py and all the camera-clicked images are stored in the Resize folder.</h2>
  
  <pre><code>import numpy as np
  import matplotlib.pyplot as py
  import os
  import cv2
  from pathlib import Path
  
  datadir = Path("/home/cryptoaniket256/Desktop/opencv- 
  3.4.1/project/Resize")
  fileToOpen = datadir/"practice.txt"
  f = open(fileToOpen)
  print(f.read())
  </code></pre>
