Answer 1

This works for me:

import os
import shutil
import random


dir = r'E:/up/2000_img'
output_dir = r'E:/train_test_split/out_dir'


files = [file for file in os.listdir(dir) if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(dir, file))]

if len(files) < 200:
    # for file in files:
    #     shutil.copyfile(os.path.join(dir, file), dst)
    pass
else:
    # Amount of random files you'd like to select
    random_amount = 10
    for x in range(random_amount):
        if len(files) == 0:
            break
        else:
            file = random.choice(files)
            shutil.copyfile(os.path.join(dir, file), os.path.join(output_dir, file))

Answer 2

Use shutil.copy2 instead of shutil.copyfile

import shutil 
shutil.copy2('/src/dir/file.ext','/dst/dir/newname.ext') # file copy to another file
shutil.copy2('/src/file.ext', '/dst/dir') # file copy to diff directory

Answer 3

use

> from shutil import copyfile
> 
> copyfile(src, dst)

for src and dst use:

srcname = os.path.join(src, name)
dstname = os.path.join(dst, name)
