I ended up with this function:
def movefiles(dir1, dir2):
"""Moves all files in dir1 to dir2"""
contents = os.listdir(dir1)
for file in contents:
old = os.path.join(dir1, file)
new = os.path.join(dir2, file)
os.rename(old, new)
It seems to work, but this looks inelegant. Does anyone have any better
suggestions?
