Question

source = /tmp/src
contains a,b,c,d files
destinations = ‘/one’ , ‘/two’

so i want to copy files a,b,c,d to both destinations ‘/one’ and ‘two’

something like

source = '/tmp/src'
destinations = []

def copy_files_multiple_dest(source,destinations)

right ?
now, how would i loop through all the destinations

Answer 1

how about something like:

import os
import shutil


source = '/tmp/src/'
destinations = []

def copy_files_multiple_dest(source,destinations):
  sfiles = os.listdir(source) # list of all files in source
  for f in sfiles:
    for dest in destinations:
      shutil.copy(os.path.join(source,f), dest)

i’m not sure it’s the fastest but it should do the job.
