from IPython.core.display_functions import display

from biogeme.filenames import get_new_file_name
from biogeme.version import get_text

Version of Biogeme.

print(get_text())

The role of this function is to obtain the name of a file that does not exist.

the_name = get_new_file_name('test', 'dat')
display(the_name)

Now, let’s create that file, and call the function again. A suffix with a number is appended to the name of the file, before its extension.

open(the_name, 'a').close()

the_name = get_new_file_name('test', 'dat')
display(the_name)

If we do it again, the number is incremented.

open(the_name, 'a').close()

the_name = get_new_file_name('test', 'dat')
display(the_name)
