How do I move a file in Python?

os.rename(), os.replace(), or shutil.move() All employ the same syntax: import os import shutil os.rename(“path/to/current/file.foo”, “path/to/new/destination/for/file.foo”) os.replace(“path/to/current/file.foo”, “path/to/new/destination/for/file.foo”) shutil.move(“path/to/current/file.foo”, “path/to/new/destination/for/file.foo”) The filename (“file.foo”) must be included in both the source and destination arguments. If it differs between the two, the file will be renamed as well as moved. The directory within which the new file is … Read more

There are two easy ways to do this: 1. Explicitly specifying a suitable encoding: Call the UTF8Encoding constructor with False for the encoderShouldEmitUTF8Identifier parameter. Pass the UTF8Encoding instance … Read more
