I'm assuming that you're on Win32 because of the "shell" and "file allocation table" references. If so, try the stuff in the pywin32 package: http://timgolden.me.uk/python/win32_how_do_i/copy-a-file.html#shell (Obviously, substitute move for copy as appropriate) TJG This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.

[Tutor] an alternative to shutil.move()?
Is there an alternative in python to use shutil.move()? It copies the files and then removes the source file insted of just moving directly the file (don't know much about file systems, but I suppose that when you move using the shell, if both source and destination are in the same partition, it's just a matter of changing the entries in the file allocation table). Copying the entire file, specially with big files is very slow, and I think that it makes an unnecesary use of the hard drive and system resources, when both source file and destination are on the same partition... __ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.
