i am writing a basic backup program for my school. so they wanted the
possibility to be able to set source/destination from a config file.
my source/destination was fine before, i would build it up with
functions, like 1 that got the user-name, and put it all together with
os.path.join. but if they
i see. i was using time as a variable name , messing it all up.im not
going to post the whole backup script here, but here are a few lines
that i changed to make it work.
from datetime import datetime
from os.path import join, getsize
import time,os,string,getpass,md5,ConfigParser
from time import
so then why does this not work ?
from datetime import datetime
from os.path import join, getsize
import time,os,string,getpass,md5,ConfigParser
from time import strftime,localtime
config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
config.read("config.ini")
date = config.get("myvars", "date")
time = config.get(

I'm working on a script that will run all the time. at time specified
in a config file, will kick-off a backup.
problem is, its not actually starting the job. the double while loop
runs, the first comparing date works. the second for hour/min does
not.
#python file

yes i agree breaking stuff into smaller chunks is a good way to do it.
even were i to do something like
def safe_copy()
f1=file(files ,'rb')
f2 = file(os.path.join(currentdir,fname,files))
truth = md5.new(f1.read()).digest() ==
md5.new(f2.read()).digest()
if truth == 0:
so i am trying to add md5 checksum calc to my file copy stuff, to make
sure the source and dest. are same file.
i implemented it fine with the single file copy part. something like :
for files in sourcepath:
f1=file(files ,'rb')
try:
shutil.copy2(files,
os.path.join(dest

im trying to use wxpython to get a source file/files, then a
destination folder to write them to. the file and folder picker works.
the problem is, actually copying (actually shutil.copy2() ). i get an
except error, as if the destination file name is not correct. looking
at the print lines the dest
well i think i will close this out. redid recursive foldering now for
3rd or 4th time. below script works from a windows to another folder
(destination1) or a unc path(destination2). i tried it on my linux
box, and the error deals with writing to a remote smb share. i think

i think i got it. my dirlist wasn't the right way to go, i needed to
iterate thu what oswalk was giving me in dirs, and files. not
bruteforce strip to a string. i have been starting at an early version
and a later version for the last 4 hours or so, and i think i have it

this is a reply to both Dave Angel and Ben Finney. this version of

good catch tho as that is needed. thanks.
weekchoice is used to pick week 1-4. really jsut returns 1-4. i plan

hello,
i am trying to work with windows homedirectory as a starting point for
some kind of file copy command. i'm testing this on a win7 box so my
home is c:\Users\jon\
here is the code snippet i am working on:
import os
homedir = os.path.expanduser('~')
try:
from win32com.shell import shellc
