i have a samba server at home (acting as my test environment) with one of the 'shares' mounted as v: on my windows box. inside of that are 4 folders week[1-4]. i have created c:\users\name\backup , and put a few files/folders in there to test with. please ignore the wxpython parts of the script, the last 1/3, that part is functional. initial test was looking good. (in the code, ver011 source1, destination1) coping files/ folders and not clobbering files. going to version 12a, it seems like it is trying to copy the files under the folder, before making the folder. or doing the copy2 part before the copytree part. i dont know why it works on ver011, and not in ver12a, the only difference being the destination. <a href="http://thanksforallthefish.endofinternet.net/ facbac-011.py">facbac 011</a> <a href="http://thanksforallthefish.endofinternet.net/ facbac-012a.py">facbac 012a</a> Traceback (most recent call last): File "I:\college\spring11\capstone-project\facbac-012a.py", line 161, in button1Click backupall() File "I:\college\spring11\capstone-project\facbac-012a.py", line 81, in backupall shutil.copy2(filesource, filedest1) File "C:\Python27\lib\shutil.py", line 127, in copy2 copyfile(src, dst) File "C:\Python27\lib\shutil.py", line 82, in copyfile with open(dst, 'wb') as fdst: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'V:\\week2\\configs\ \apache2.conf'
here, apache2.conf = c:\users\name\backup\config\apache2.conf trying to copy to v:\week2\config\apache2.conf but there is no v:\week2\config as it has not made the config folder yet i think the problem might be the \\ in the destination name. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
