Hello,
I am working in both OS X Snow Leopard and Lion (10.6.8 and 10.7.4).
I'm simply wanting to move folders (with their content) from various
servers to the hard drive and then back to different directories on the
servers.
I want to be careful not to remove any metadata or resource forks from
the files in the directories. I did a bit of researching on shutil, and
looks like it is similar to using "cp -p" and copystat(), which I believe
will keep the resource fork, etc.
Here's the code I came up with. I'm curious if anyone finds fault with
this, or if there's a better way to do this?
Not in this particular case, because you know that these directories are
on different computers. But instead of rmtree+copytree, I would rather
use shutil.move() because it will use os.rename() when the source and
the destination are on the same filesystem. Much much faster.
