Python: Finding user id and moving directories (Windows)

Question

What I\'m trying to accomplish is to have my program move itself from the folder it\'s currently in, to another folder. In this case, Videos. This is the code:

i         


        

Answer 1

os.rename("$s/userid.py", "%s/Videos/userid.py")  % ('os.getcwd()', '%userid')

%userid will only give you userid, you need to specify the full path. Also note $s you have used, it should instead be %s.

Please note both the directories should exist beforehand. While the file in the destination directory shouldn't.

Also you can use the shutil.move() for the same.
