I am trying to copy a folder hierarchy from one location to another.
I can use the shutil.copytree function to copy the folder tree, but I

Use os.walk and create the directories as they appear?
TJG
I was hoping to use os.walk, but this doesn't work because I wont know
when os.walk descends into a new directory or which directory it
descends into. Perhaps I don't understand everything about it.
Some rough but working code might help you out here:
<code>
import os
source_dir = "c:/temp/oldtree"
target_dir = "c:/temp/newtree" # should not exist yet
for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk (source_dir):
os.mkdir (os.path.join (target_dir, dirpath[1+len (source_dir):]))
os.startfile (target_dir)
</code>
