Question

I’d like to copy the files that have a specific file extension to a new folder. I have an idea how to use os.walk but specifically how would I go about using that? I’m searching for the files with a specific file extension in only one folder (this folder has 2 subdirectories but the files I’m looking for will never be found in these 2 subdirectories so I don’t need to search in these subdirectories). Thanks in advance.

import glob, os, shutil  files = glob.iglob(os.path.join(source_dir, '*.ext')) for file in files:     if os.path.isfile(file):         shutil.copy2(file, dest_dir) 

Read the documentation of the shutil module to choose the function that fits your needs (shutil.copy(), shutil.copy2() or shutil.copyfile()).
