In this section, we will see how we can copy files using the shutil module. For that, first, we will create a hello.py file and write some text in it.
hello.py:
print ("")
print ("Hello World ")
print ("Hello Python ")
Now, we will write the code for copying into the shutil_copy_example.py script. Write the following content in it:
import shutil
import os
shutil.copy('hello.py', 'welcome.py')
print("Copy Successful")
Run the script as follows:
$ python3 shutil_copy_example.py
Output:
Copy Successful
Check the presence of the welcome.py script and you will find the contents of hello.py are copied successfully in welcome.py.
