Copy Folder with Files to Another Folder - Python

import os, shutil

os.chdir('c:\\Python38-64\\')

shutil.copytree('SOURCE', 'DESTINATION')

This code uses the os and shutil modules to copy an entire directory called SOURCE from the current working directory (c:\\Python38-64\\) to a new directory called DESTINATION.

import os, shutil

os.chdir('c:\\Python38-64\\')

The first line of code imports the os and shutil modules.

The os.chdir() function is used to change the current working directory to c:\\Python38-64\\. This is done to ensure that the source directory, SOURCE, is located in the correct directory before it is copied.

shutil.copytree('SOURCE', 'DESTINATION')

The shutil.copytree() function is then called with two arguments: the source directory (SOURCE) and the destination directory (DESTINATION). The shutil module provides a way to copy files and directories in a platform-independent manner.

This code is useful for creating backups of entire directories in a way that is quick and easy to automate. However, it should be noted that overwriting an existing directory with the same name as the destination directory may result in the loss of the original directory and its contents.
