You might want to look at my Using the OS topic in my tutorial It covers basic file manipulation and starting external programs etc. > that they can be run on either my windows or linux workstations. That might be harder than you think due to differences in paths etc. Also some external commands will be different, and ones with the same name take different arguments/orders or args etc If you write them in pure Python you should be OK but if you just run sequences of OS commands (typical of batch files) then you might run into problems. > The first things that I want to learn is how to do basic stuff > like copying, moving, and deleting files around from folder to > folder.
