OSError: [Errno 21] Is a directory
OSError: [Errno 21] Is a directory
I am trying to make a video mover but when I try to run it, it comes up with this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/zac/programs/VideoMover/core.py", line 25, in <module>
os.rename(source, root.replace(topfolder, "/home/zac/Videos/") +"/"+filename)
OSError: [Errno 21] Is a directory
This is what my scripting is in case you need it:
import os
import errno
import fnmatch
if __name__ == '__main__':
patterns= ["*.mov", "*.mp4", "*.avi"]
topfolder= "xyxyxyxy"
while not os.path.exists(topfolder):
topfolder=raw_input("Please input folder for searching: ")
if topfolder[-1] != "/":
topfolder= topfolder + "/"
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(topfolder):
for pattern in patterns:
for filename in fnmatch.filter(files, pattern):
source= root+"/"+filename
print source
print root.replace(topfolder, "/home/zac/Videos/") +"/"+filename
try:
os.makedirs(root.replace(topfolder, "/home/zac/Videos/"))
except OSError, e:
if e.errno != errno.EEXIST:
raise
os.rename(source, root.replace(topfolder, "/home/zac/Videos/") +"/"+filename)
print "done!"
That's it.

os.rename raise if source is fiel, destination is directory.
os.rename

Try following code:
import os
import shutil
def find_movie_files(topdir):
extensions = (".mov", ".mp4", ".avi",)
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(topdir):
for filename in files:
if filename.endswith(extensions):
yield os.path.join(root, filename)
def move_file(src, dst):
d = os.path.dirname(dst)
if not os.path.exists(d):
print 'Make directory: ', d
os.makedirs(d)
print 'Move', src, 'to', dst
shutil.move(src, dst)
if __name__ == '__main__':
src_dir = "xyxyxyxy"
dst_dir = '/home/zac/Videos'
while not os.path.exists(src_dir):
src_dir = raw_input("Please input folder for searching: ")
for filepath in find_movie_files(src_dir):
src = filepath
dst = os.path.join(dst_dir, os.path.relpath(filepath, src_dir))
move_file(src, dst)
print "done!"
