Please elaborate on what you need to do, because as-is your question is very difficult to understand. An example, and the code you have already tried may help us to understand. — Guillaume, Mar 06 '17 at 14:31
Example : Source directory: "xx/yy/zz" and in this source directory let us consider there is a file with particular extension say .zip. If that is the case then copy the source directory to destination directory. Note: THE SOURCE directory structure keeps on changes. I was trying to use os.walk to detect the .zip extension — Manojs toppalad, Mar 07 '17 at 06:07

Python code for this.

from distutils.dir_util import copy_tree

fromDirectory = "/user/"
toDirectory = "/windows/"

copy_to_file(fromDirectory, toDirectory)
