Moving all files from one directory to another using Python

Question

I want to move all text files from one folder to another folder using Python. I found this code:

import os, shutil, glob

dst = \'/path/to/dir/Caches/com.app         


        

Answer 1

Please, take a look at implementation of the copytree function which:

• List directory files with:

  names = os.listdir(src)

• Copy files with:

for name in names:
  srcname = os.path.join(src, name)
  dstname = os.path.join(dst, name)
  copy2(srcname, dstname)

Getting dstname is not necessary, because if destination parameter specifies a directory, the file will be copied into dst using the base filename from srcname.

Replace copy2 by move.
