from the docs:
os.rename(src, dst)¶Rename the file or directory src to dst. If dst is a
directory, OSError will be raised.
I did read that, thank you. That is why I asked how to override, as I
understood that Python was functioning exactly as intended.
It seems what you wan to

I see, thanks. So I was sending it four values apparently. I did not
understand the error message.
No, you're sending it two values: a tuple, and a string. It wants two
strings. Thus the error. If you had sent it four values, you'd have gotten
a different error.
I see. For some reason I
Why is the print below commented out?
for f in file:
toMove =oot + / + f
#print toMove
os.rename(toMove, currentDir)
I was testing, and it was not longer needed. It was returning what I
expected. Note that print can only be used to test that the value
matches what

Hello,
: I use this one-liner for moving photos nested a single folder deep

I would add a few different features to this 'find' to make it a bit

All right, I've got it! This script will move all files of
subdirectories into cwd.

currentDir = os.getcwd()
filesList = os.walk(currentDir)
for rootDirs, folders, files in filesList:
for f in files:

When combining directory paths, it's generally safer to use
os.path.join()
As KDE/Dolphin runs on windows this is even more important as it will
sort out the directory separator (/ vs \) for you.
Added, thanks!
Some added reading on os.path can be found on Doug's excellent PyMOTW
[1].
I use this one-liner for moving photos nested a single folder deep
into the top-level folder:
find * -name *.jpg | awk -F/ '{print mv $0,$1-$2}' | sh
You could miss out the awk and use the exec option of find...
Or miss out the shell and use the system() function of awk.
The truth is
I would add a few different features to this 'find' to make it a bit
more resistant to failure, although this sort of solution is always
subject to the somebody else is toying with my filesystem race
condition.

Actual the first item in the tuple (returned by os.walk) is singular (a
string), so I might call it rootDir. Only the other two needed to be
changed to plural to indicate that they were lists.
I did discover this, too. I wanted to finish with the code at hand

What fine manual should I be reading? I am not asking for
code, rather just a link to the right documentation.
You'll definitely want to explore the os module, part of Python's built-in
standard library.

Lovely??? What on earth does it do? It's worse than Perl code!!!
*half a wink*
Like a good wife, it does what I need even if it is not pretty on the
eyes. _That_ is lovely!
