I'm trying to move a bunch of files and directories into another directory.
Unfortunately, I keep getting an error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "checkDeviceType.py", line 46, in ?
cdt.moveFiles(barcodeList)
File "checkDeviceType.py", line 40, in moveFiles
shutil.move(f,dst)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/shutil.py", line 190, in move
copytree(src, dst, symlinks=True)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/shutil.py", line 111, in copytree
os.mkdir(dst)
OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: './TAPE_ARCHIVES'
The problem seems to happen when I try to move a directory into another
directory:
>>> import shutil
>>> shutil.move("test_dir","stuff")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/shutil.py", line 190, in move
copytree(src, dst, symlinks=True)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/shutil.py", line 111, in copytree
os.mkdir(dst)
OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: 'stuff'
Any idea how to pull this off?
