Dear tutors, I am interested to move a set of files, periodically, from source_folder to dest_folder. source_folder receives processed files from a ‘decompressing program’. The files are deposited from the ‘decompressing program’ at periodic random intervals. Furthermore some of the files dropped in the source_folder are large, of typical size 800MB. These files take time before it is completely deposited in the source_folder.
I could use shutil.move (source_folder, dest_folder). But then how? The frequency of moving files from source_folder to dest_folder is flexible. It could be once in 15 minutes (or even lengthier). Challenge for me: How could the code include the wait statement to make sure that the file in the source_folder is completely formed before attempting to move to dest_folder? Thanks in advance for your comments/guidance. Best, Kumar. + _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
