Trying to use Pathlib and Path.replace on Windows if drive are different leads to an issue:
File "D:\myscript.py", line 184, in update
client_generated_path.replace(destination_folder)
File "c:\program files (x86)\python35-32\Lib\pathlib.py", line 1273, in replace
self._accessor.replace(self, target)
File "c:\program files (x86)\python35-32\Lib\pathlib.py", line 377, in wrapped
return strfunc(str(pathobjA), str(pathobjB), *args)
OSError: [WinError 17] The system cannot move the file to a different disk drive: 'C:\\MyFolder' -> 'D:\\MyFolderNewName'
This is a known situation of os.rename, and workaround I found is to use shutil or to copy/delete manually in two steps (e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21116510/python-oserror-winerror-17-the-system-cannot-move-the-file-to-a-different-d)
When using Pathlib, it's not that easy to workaround using shutil (even if thanks to Brett Cannon now shutil accepts Path in Py3.6, not everybody has Py3.6). At least this should be documented with a recommendation for that situation. I love Pathlib and it's too bad my code becomes complicated when it was so simple :( |
