I have a directory /a/b/c that has files and subdirectories. I need to copy the /a/b/c/* in the /x/y/z directory. What python methods can I use?
I tried shutil.copytree("a/b/c", "/x/y/z")
, but python tries to create /x/y/z and raises an error "Directory exists"
.
I found this code working:
from distutils.dir_util import copy_tree
# copy subdirectory example
fromDirectory = "/a/b/c"
toDirectory = "/x/y/z"
copy_tree(fromDirectory, toDirectory)
