The code: curDir = os.getcwd() znDir = shutil.abspath('../') baseDir = shutil.abspath('../../')
Files = glob.iglob(os.path.join(znDir, '*')) print Files for moveFile in Files: print moveFile shutil.move(moveFile, curDir) Nothing happens. The 'print...moveFile' never happens, even though print Files shows it to be an iglob generator object. After reading over the glob docs and working the directories backward manually, I realized that one of the directory names in the znDir path begins with '[1st]'. According to the docs, glob is apparently seeing that as a character range. No problem, I'll simply escape the '[' and ']' with backslashes. I used: znDir = znDir.replace('[', '\[') and then znDir = znDir.replace(']', '\]') No such luck. Glob still does not recognize the file glob in znDir/*. Later in the code I will be using creating symbolic links, and I wish to use the absolute path rather than the relative path. Any idea of how to sanitize this path so that I can get glob to work?
