test_A: import os, shutil os.makedirs('foo') os.makedirs('bar/boo') shutil.move('foo/', 'bar/') test_B: import os, shutil os.makedirs('foo') os.makedirs('bar/boo') shutil.move('foo', 'bar/') and finally test_C: import os, shutil os.makedirs('foo') os.makedirs('bar/boo') shutil.move('foo\\', 'bar/') ... and got the same traceback: Python 2.7.6 (default, Nov 10 2013, 19:24:18) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information. >>> ================================ RESTART ================================ >>> Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\temp\test.py", line 4, in <module> shutil.move('foo/','bar/') File "D:\programs\Python27\lib\shutil.py", line 291, in move raise Error, "Destination path '%s' already exists" % real_dst Error: Destination path 'bar/' already exists >>> ---------- nosy: +francismb _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19856> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
