shutil.move(fileA,fileB) OK fileB exists OK |
| copyfile(fileA,fileB) OK | |
| copy(fileA,folderB) OK will finally generate folderB/filexxx file exists |
shutil.move(fileA,folderB) OK If folderB/filename exists, an error will be reported |
| copyfile(fileA,folderB) reports an error. | |
| copytree(folderA, folderB, symlinks=True) folderB cannot exist |
shutil.move(folderA,folderB) folderB not exist OK ie rename |
| copytree(folderA,folderB) If folderB exists, an error will be reported | shutil.move(folderA,folderB) folderB exist OK 即电影folderB/folderA/ |
