I'd try something like:
import os
from shutil import move
for path, dirs, files in os.walk('.'):
if path <> os.curdir and files:
# the "2:" strips of the ".[os.sep]" at the beginning
newdir = path[2:].replace(os.sep, ' - ')
try:
os.mkdir(newdir)
for f in files:
try:
move(
os.sep.join([path, f]), #the old location
os.sep.join([newdir, f]) #the new location
)
except:
print 'Could not move %s to %s' % (f, newdir)
except:
print 'Could not create %s' % newdir
It doesn't clean up the original directories along the way, but
that may be better, depending on the nesting depth of your
directories...you'd want to make sure that you deal with all the
files within a directory before deleting it.
Feel free to tweak as needed.
