How can I automate file management using Python?

How can I automate file management using Python?

You can use libraries like os and shutil to automate tasks like moving, copying, and deleting files.

Can you show me a simple script to move files from one folder to another?

Sure! Here's a basic script:

import os
import shutil

def move_files(source_folder, destination_folder):
    for filename in os.listdir(source_folder):
        shutil.move(os.path.join(source_folder, filename), destination_folder)

What if I want to move only specific file types?

You can modify the script to check the file extension before moving. For example:

if filename.endswith('.txt'):
    shutil.move(os.path.join(source_folder, filename), destination_folder)

How can I schedule this script to run automatically?

You can use task schedulers like cron on Linux or Task Scheduler on Windows to run your script at specific intervals.
