如何复制文件夹的名称

Question

I am new to python and I am really trying to accomplish a simple task. I am trying to copy only the names of some folders to another folder (ex: folderA). I do not care about the contents of those folders, I do care to copy only their names.

(the folder names I want to copy are under batch_2016: sin_1008100, sin_1010987, sin_10109) below is what I have written but is not working as I expect

batch_path = '/net/storage/batch_2016' # where the folders are located
batch_name = raw_input("batch name: ") # im giving a new folder name
os.chdir(batch_path)
print(os.getcwd())

for fName in os.listdir('.'):
    if fName.startswith("sin"):
        os.makedirs(batch_name)
        os.chdir(batch_name)
        os.makedirs(fName)

I am not getting any error to post but when it is running it creates 3 batch_name folders and each folder has the folder_names I want to copy. So if the new folder name is FolderA, it has inside

FolderA, sin_1008100
FolderA, sin_1010987
FolderA, sin_10109

I guess this is because of the loop but I am not sure how to fix that. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

I think this does what you want:

import os

batch_path = '/net/storage/batch_2016' # where the folders are located
batch_name = raw_input("batch name: ") # im giving a new folder name
os.chdir(batch_path)
print(os.getcwd())

os.makedirs(batch_name)

for fName in os.listdir('.'):
    if fName.startswith("sin"):
        os.makedirs(batch_name + "/" + fName)
        # alternatively, os.makedirs("../" + batch_name + "/" + fName)
