I have a list of navigation paths to specific files, which all come from different folders. I'd like to move them all to a new folder.
Specifically, my data is formatted in two columns in a dataframe, where I'd like to move each file to its new folder. (Each row describes a file.)
My input:
df = pd.DataFrame({'old_path': ['/Users/myname/images/cat/file_0.jpg', '/Users/myname/images/dog/file_1.jpg', '/Users/myname/images/squirrel/file_2.jpg'],
'new_path': ['/Users/myname/mydir/file_0.jpg', '/Users/myname/mydir/file_1.jpg', '/Users/myname/mydir/file_2.jpg'],
})
However, I have yet to figure out how to modify the code below to do this in a loop or anything similarly helpful: How to move a file in Python?
import os
import shutil
shutil.move("path/to/current/file.foo", "path/to/new/destination/for/file.foo")
In this example, all the files are being moved to the same folder. But, it'd be great if the answered code were generalizable to send files to different folders, too.
