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 copytreetosinglefolder(src, dst):
names = os.listdir(src)
if (os.path.isdir(dst)==False):
os.mkdir(dst)
for name in names:
srcname = os.path.join(src, name)
try:
shutil.copy2(srcname, dst)
except (IOError, os.error), why:
print "Can't copy %s to %s: %s" % (`srcname`, `dst`, str(why))
copytreetosinglefolder('c:\\src','d:\\dest')

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
The shutils.copytree() 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(filepath, stat.S_IWRITE) [3]
