Change Path Python Created File

Question

When I create a file like .txt or .db with Python code, the file is always created in root directory and not in my current directory. Does anyone have an idea of how can I change the path of a created file in Python with Visual Studio Code?

I know I can do this with os module or with adding code lines, but I want to set it up by default in Visual Studio.

This is my current configuration in launch.json

This is what I get when I debug with F5
