Python's actions on files and folders

The operation of files and folders in Python involves both the OS module and the Shutil module.

To create a file:
1) Os.mknod ("Test.txt") Create an empty file
2) Open ("Test.txt", W) opens a file directly and creates a file if the file does not exist

To create a directory:
Os.mkdir ("file") Create directory

To copy a file:
Shutil.copyfile ("Oldfile", "NewFile") Oldfile and NewFile can only be files
Shutil.copy ("Oldfile", "NewFile") Oldfile can only be a folder, NewFile can be a file, or it can be a destination directory

To copy a folder:
Shutil.copytree ("Olddir", "Newdir") Olddir and Newdir can only be directories, and newdir must not exist

Renaming files (directories)
Os.rename ("Oldname", "newname") files or directories are all using this command

Moving Files (directories)
Shutil.move ("Oldpos", "Newpos")

deleting files
Os.remove ("file")

Delete Directory
Os.rmdir ("dir") can only delete empty directories
Shutil.rmtree ("dir") empty directory, contents of the directory can be deleted

Converting catalogs
Os.chdir ("path") Change path

Judging the target
Os.path.exists ("goal") to determine if the target exists
Os.path.isdir ("goal") determine whether the target directory
Os.path.isfile ("goal") determine if the target is a file
