You are still not using the actual file name in your command. src is a directory, so os.rename(src, dst) renames the directory. Try os.rename(os.path.join(src, filez), os.path.join(dst, filez)) Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
