I am trying to write a code to compare directories (sub directories and files within), then copy the contents of the other directory (files only including files in the sub-directories) to the other directory. I imported everything then I have this:
dst = "C:/somefolder"
path = "C:/otherplace"
compare = filecmp.dircmp(path,dst)
ans = compare.right_only
for fil in ans:
if len(ans)>0:
shutil.copy2(dst,path)
i have tried other routes using os.listdir but i always seem to end up at the error
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied
this written in python 24
I am running my code using cygwin but i am a windows user
