The fastest version w/o overoptimizing the code I’ve got with the following code: class CTError(Exception): def __init__(self, errors): self.errors = errors try: O_BINARY = os.O_BINARY except: O_BINARY = 0 READ_FLAGS = os.O_RDONLY | O_BINARY WRITE_FLAGS = os.O_WRONLY | os.O_CREAT | os.O_TRUNC | O_BINARY BUFFER_SIZE = 128*1024 def copyfile(src, dst): try: fin = os.open(src, READ_FLAGS) stat … Read more
The problem is here: str = str(pdf.stem) You’re overwriting the value str, so starting from the 2nd iteration of your loop, str no longer refers to the built-in str function. Choose a different name for this variable.
If noob is a directory, the shutil.rmtree() function will delete noob and all files and subdirectories below it. That is, noob is the root of the tree to be removed.
Using the terms in the documentation, you have specified a root_dir, but not a base_dir. Try specifying the base_dir like so: shutil.make_archive(‘/home/code/test_dicoms’, ‘zip’, ‘/home/code/’, ‘test_dicoms’) To answer your second question, it depends upon the version of Python you are using. Starting from Python 3.4, ZIP64 extensions will be availble by default. Prior to Python 3.4, … Read more
import glob import shutil dest_dir = “C:/test” for file in glob.glob(r’C:/*.txt’): print(file) shutil.copy(file, dest_dir)
If you specify the full path to the destination (not just the directory) then shutil.move will overwrite any existing file: shutil.move(os.path.join(src, filename), os.path.join(dst, filename))
Check this question out: What user do python scripts run as in windows? Apparently the answer is to change the file/folder to not be read-only and then remove it. Here’s onerror() handler from pathutils.py mentioned by @Sridhar Ratnakumar in comments: def onerror(func, path, exc_info): “”” Error handler for “shutil.rmtree“. If the error is due to … Read more
I found this code working which is part of the standard library: from distutils.dir_util import copy_tree # copy subdirectory example from_directory = “/a/b/c” to_directory = “/x/y/z” copy_tree(from_directory, to_directory) Reference: Python 2: https://docs.python.org/2/distutils/apiref.html#distutils.dir_util.copy_tree Python 3: https://docs.python.org/3/distutils/apiref.html#distutils.dir_util.copy_tree
Here’s a solution that’s part of the standard library: from distutils.dir_util import copy_tree copy_tree(“/a/b/c”, “/x/y/z”) See this similar question. Copy directory contents into a directory with python Reference – https://docs.python.org/3/distutils/apiref.html#distutils.dir_util.copy_tree
