Suppose you have two file-trees with common sub-directories but different files that you want to merge together, e.g.
/test/ /test/a/ /test/a/file1 /test2/ /test2/a/ /test2/a/file2 You can easily merge the directories in Linux using the "cp" command: cp -r test/* test2/ While Python provides some helpful methods for moving files and directories around (shutil.move, shutil.copytree, etc), none of them seem to be able to merge two directories. I've looked around some on Google for an alternative to calling cp directly, but so far no luck. Any ideas? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
