On monday I posted the below code:
def schmove(src,dst):
... src = '/home/datasvcs/PIG/cjomeda_exp/'
... dst = '/home/datasvcs/PIG/cjomeda_exp_archive/'
... listOfFiles = os.listdir(src)
... for filez in listOfFiles:
... os.system("mv"+ " " + src + " " + dst)
David Angel replied to my post and I guess I accidentally deleted his response.
Today I found his response posted on mail-archive.com and tried some
variations. They all failed.
David said, "Just use os.rename() if the dest is a directory, it'll move the file
there."
Example: If I use: "os.rename(src, dst)" where I had "os.system("mv"+ " " + src + "
" + dst)" no files are coppied.
os.renames happily renames the source directory, but that's not what I want.
Any other suggestions?

I did not try Davids example but Kents works fine here;
#!/usr/bin/python
#Python 2.6.2
import os
src = '/home/david/test_src/'
dst = '/home/david/test/'
listofFiles = os.listdir(src)
for fnames in listofFiles:
os.system("mv %s/%s %s" % (src, fnames, dst))
results = os.listdir(dst)
print results
[results]
