I'm having a problem using a path with spaces as a parameter to
os.rename() in a program on WinXP.
This works fine at the command line (where the folder "c:\aa bb" exists)
> os.rename( "c\aa bb", "c:\cc dd" );
>
But, I can't get it to work in my program, eg.
print SrcDir
print NewDir
os.rename( SrcDir, NewDir );
when I run this I get something like this:
"e:\\music\\Joni Mitchell\\ogg-8"
"e:\\music.ogg\\Joni Mitchell\\ogg-8"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\Music\MoveMusic.py", line 64, in ?
main();
...
File "E:\Music\MoveMusic.py", line 49, in Visit
os.mkdir( NewDir );
OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: '"e:\\music.ogg\\Joni
Mitchell\\ogg-8"'
I've tried different combinations of single backslash vs. double
backslash, and quoted vs. non-quoted, but it always fails.
The problem is not specific to os.rename. If I instead use mkdir(
SrcDir ) I get the same problem.
Thanks,
Tom.
