hello, i am trying to work with windows homedirectory as a starting point for some kind of file copy command. i'm testing this on a win7 box so my home is c:\Users\jon\ here is the code snippet i am working on:
import os homedir = os.path.expanduser('~') try: from win32com.shell import shellcon, shell homedir = shell.SHGetFolderPath(0, shellcon.CSIDL_APPDATA, 0, 0) except ImportError: homedir = os.path.expanduser("~") print homedir print os.listdir(homedir+"\\backup\\") homedir.replace("\\\\" , "\\") print homedir shutil.copy (homedir+"\\backup\\", homedir+"\\backup2\\") output looks like: C:\Users\jon ['test1.txt', 'test2.txt'] C:\Users\jon Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\spring 11\capstone-project\date.py", line 43, in <module> shutil.copy (homedir+"\\backup\\", homedir+"\\backup2\\") File "C:\Python27\lib\shutil.py", line 116, in copy copyfile(src, dst) File "C:\Python27\lib\shutil.py", line 81, in copyfile with open(src, 'rb') as fsrc: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\jon\\backup\ \' why is there still two \\ in the pathfor the copy command? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
