Hey Mark, Mark Bystry wrote: > sh.copy('C:\testing_it.txt', 'D:\') Also have a look at the os.path module. Because you want these scripts to work on both Linux and Windows, using os.path will let you avoid writing platform specific code to handle your slashes.
For example: import os path_parts_list = ['C:', 'testing_it.txt'] Now, os.path.join will join those path parts together with whatever is appropriate for the OS you are running on: os.path.join(path_parts_list) This should give you: 'c:\testing_it.txt' on Windows and 'c:/testing_it.txt' on Linux (which doesn't make sense, but demonstrates how os.path can handle your os-specific slashes for you). There are lots of helpful path related built-ins: <http://docs.python.org/lib/module-os.path.html> _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
