Copy a file from one location to another in Python
You have to give a full name of the destination file, not just a folder name.
You can get the file name using os.path.basename(path) and then build the destionation path usin os.path.join(path, *paths)
for item in fileList: filename = os.path.basename(item[0]) copyfile(item[0], os.path.join("/Users/username/Desktop/testPhotos", filename))
You could just use the shutil.copy() command:
e.g.
import shutil for item in fileList: shutil.copy(item[0], "/Users/username/Desktop/testPhotos")[From the Python 3.6.1 documentation. I tried this and it works.]
Use os.path.basename to get the file name and then use it in destination.
import osfrom shutil import copyfilefor item in fileList: copyfile(item[0], "/Users/username/Desktop/testPhotos/{}".format(os.path.basename(item[0])))
