Hi all,

How do I move files to a designated folder or copy/paste?



The first hit when I googled "how to move a file using python" was
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8858008/how-to-move-a-file-in-python
which in turn suggests the use of:
os.rename() or shutil.move()
depending on whether you need only to rename or to actually move a file.
(The unix mv utility is used to do both but the 'twofor' is not 
available in Python to my knowledge.)

Don't forget to
import os
or
import shutil
depending on your needs.

copy/paste is a UI specific thing, you don't do that in Python code.
What you do  is either copy a file or move it.

The shutil module provides easy functions for both.
See the documentation for the module.
