move()

+
+
+audeer.move(src_path, dst_path)[source]
+

Move a file or folder independent of operating system.

+

As os.rename() works differently +under Unix and Windows +and shutil.move() can be slow, +we use os.replace() +to move the file/folder.

+
+
Parameters
+
    +

  • src_path – source file/folder path

    • +

  • dst_path – destination file/folder path

    • +
+
+
Raises
+
    +

  • OSError – if src_path is a file + and dst_path is an existing folder

    • +

  • OSError – if src_path is a folder + and dst_path is an existing file + (not raised under Windows)

    • +

  • OSError – if dst_path is a non-empty folder, + different from src_path, + and src_path is also a folder

    • +

  • OSError – if dst_path is an empty folder, + different from src_path + and src_path is also a folder + (raised only under Windows)
