You are giving shutil.copy
the filename (file
), and not the full path, so it can find the file.
Maybe you meant :
shutil.copy(fullpath, dest)
Question
If I run shutil.move(file, dest) on its own it works fine, the problem I'm having is when I loop through, the loop works fine without the shutil.move.
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'test.txt'
path = '/media/usb/Test/'
dest = '/media/usb/Done/'
for file in os.listdir(path):
fullpath = os.path.join(path, file)
f = open( fullpath , 'r')
dataname = f.name
print dataname
shutil.copy(file, dest)
I know that this is something simple and I've tried a number of different things but just can't get my head around this.
