Hello all, I got a suspicion on the behaviour of os.rename (src,dst).If the src is the path of a file and dst is a new filename this os.rename() function is infact creating a new file with the dst name in the current working directory and leaving the src as it is. Is this the expected behavior? If i want the actual source file in its orignal location to be renamed without doing os.chdir() to that directory, is that possible?
Ex: if my script ren.py contains the following code: os.rename("C:\\Folder1\\Folder2\\file1,file2) and my ren.py is in the folder D:\. Now if I run this script, it is creating file2 in D:\ but I want it in C: \Folder1\Folder2. is that possible? When I checked the normal Windows rename function, it is working to my expectations but I can't use it because my file is in a deep path (>255) which Windows won't support. Thanks in advance, Venu. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
