How to move a file?

Question

I looked into the Python os interface, but was unable to locate a method to move a file. How would I do the equivalent of $ mv ... in Python?

Answer 1

This is solution, which does not enables shell using mv.

import subprocess

source      = 'pathToCurrent/file.foo'
destination = 'pathToNew/file.foo'

p = subprocess.Popen(['mv', source, destination], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
output = p.communicate()[0].decode('utf-8').strip()

if p.returncode:
    print(f"E:{output}")
