This is a problem you run into if you do sort the filenames (the wrong way, alphabetically). If I understand Bart correctly he suggests something like with open(DESTFILE, "wb") as outstream: for filename in map("XXX_chunk_{}".format, itertools.count()): try: with open(filename, "rb") as instream: shutil.copyfileobj(instream, outstream) except FileNotFoundError: break -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
