I am new to python. Infact started yesterday and feeling out of place.
I need to write a program which would transfer files under one folder
structure (there are sub folders) to single folder. Can anyone give me
some idea like which library files or commands would be suitable for
this file transfer task. I am sure its matter of few commands. It
would be even more great if I could get some sample code with
instructions
Thanks 6 2065

The shutils.copytre e() command[1] will do what you describe
Depending on your source, and if you want to make the dest
writeable (such as copying off a CD), you may also need to use
os.walk() [2] combined with os.chmod(filepa th, stat.S_IWRITE) [3]

Hi this is the code which I wrote till now. It is giving permission
denied error for sub folders of source directory. Does anyone have any
idea what is going wrong
import os
import shutil
def copytreetosingl efolder(src, dst):
names = os.listdir(src)
if (os.path.isdir( dst)==False):
os.mkdir(dst)
for name in names:
srcname = os.path.join(sr c, name)
try:
shutil.copy2(sr cname, dst)
except (IOError, os.error), why:
print "Can't copy %s to %s: %s" % (`srcname`, `dst`, str(why))
copytreetosingl efolder('c:\\sr c','d:\\dest')

Please use a mailer/news-agent that preserves whitespace on the
beginning of the line, and make sure you don't use tabs but spaces to
indent.
Apart from that - why don't you use shutil.copytree ? Regarding the error
- are you allowed to copy, can you do it using the shell?

OP stated requirements were to move all the files into a single
folder. Copytree will preserve the directory structure from the source
side of the copy operation.

A simple question from a python beginner: How do I do 'cp -p source
destination' where source could be a list of files and destination could be

also nice.
Clearly I could open the source file for reading and a destination file for
writing and copy the bits over, but that might not preserve...

I'm writing a program in python that creates tar files of a certain
maximum size (to fit onto CD/DVD). One of the problems I'm running
into is that when using compression, it's pretty much impossible to
determine if a file, once added to an archive, will cause the archive
size to exceed the maximum size.
I believe that to do this properly, you need to copy the state of tar
file (basically the current file offset as well as the state of...

I am learning VB.NET and building small application that will do the following:
