"Please don't dump code on us and tell us to ignore parts of it. We're offering our time and experience without charging you, the least you can do is take the time to eliminate the irrelevant parts of the code yourself, and show us the smallest piece of code which demonstrates the problem. " i appreciate your opinion. im fairly new here so i might not get etiquette right.i only asked you all to ignore it for 2 reasons, it's wxpython to not really targets to the crowd, and it does not interact with the python parts. other than simply as a means to call the functions. i could chop off the bottom and replace it with a functname(), it would be the same for my question.
i know backslashes are special. there a special pain in my #$%. without a windows environment, you would have to change destination2 significantly to try it out. but like i said above you can try version 11 in a linux environment. i know config does not exist, for some reason the isfolder check is passing it off saying it exists, when it does not. then moving on to the isfiles parts. tries to copy a folder deep files with no folder to write to, and fails. i jsut don't understand why the folder check is not working right in version 12a. and destination2, IS basically the difference between 11 and 12a. it should be the only difference. the isfile difference someone else pointed out i have since changed that, stil lsame problem. and again thanks all for time/trouble. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
