重命名文件名python

Question

I'm trying to rename filenames stored in a directory using python. Here is my script :

from pathlib import Path

path = Path("photos")

for file in path.glob("*.jpg"):
    newname = file.replace('Photo/siteTHQSE/','')
    file.rename(file, newname)

However when I execute it I'm told that the replace method is requires 2 arguments but 3 were given:

TypeError: replace() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given

Any ideas?

Answer 1

It seems like you want the replace on the name of the file instead of the file itself.

Something like: newname = file.name.replace('Photo/siteTHQSE/','')

Answer 2

You're using .replace() incorrectly. file is not a string; it's a PosixPath object. Its replace method actually renames the file, and only takes one argument.

Answer 3

Using bashcommands

 bashCommand = "cp oldfile newfile" os.system(bashCommand)
