在目录中查找重复文件和文件夹并将重复项移动到 python 中的不同文件夹

Question

I am very new to python and i am looking for help. I am trying to find duplicate folders and files in a directory and move them to a different folder(called Duplicates )in the same directory and retain a single copy of all the files in a folder calles Single_Copy .I am able to find the duplicates and add their info in the CSV file but unable to create and move the files to Duplicates and Single_Copy folder.This piece of code is not showing the duplicated files properly.Could you please guide. Please find my piece of code attached,

# checkDuplicates.py
# Python 2.7.6

"""
Given a folder, walk through all files within the folder and subfolders
and get list of all files that are duplicates
The md5 checcksum for each file will determine the duplicates
"""

import os
import hashlib
from collections import defaultdict
import csv

src_folder = "C://Users//renu//Desktop//SNow work related"
def generate_md5(fname, chunk_size=1024):
    """
    Function which takes a file name and returns md5 checksum of the file
    """
    hash = hashlib.md5()
    with open(fname, "rb") as f:
        # Read the 1st block of the file
        chunk = f.read(chunk_size)
        # Keep reading the file until the end and update hash
        while chunk:
            hash.update(chunk)
            chunk = f.read(chunk_size)

    # Return the hex checksum
    return hash.hexdigest()


if __name__ == "__main__":

    # The dict will have a list as values
    md5_dict = defaultdict(list)

                          "vsd", "py", "json"]

    # Walk through all files and folders within directory
    for path, dirs, files in os.walk(src_folder):
        print("Analyzing {}".format(path))
        for each_file in files:

                file_path = os.path.join(os.path.abspath(path), each_file)
                # If there are more files with same checksum append to list
                md5_dict[generate_md5(file_path)].append(file_path)

    # Identify keys (checksum) having more than one values (file names)
    duplicate_files = (
        val for key, val in md5_dict.items() if len(val) > 1)

    # Write the list of duplicate files to csv file
    with open("duplicates.csv", "w") as log:
        # Lineterminator added for windows as it inserts blank rows otherwise
        csv_writer = csv.writer(log, quoting=csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL, delimiter=",",
                                lineterminator="\n")
        header = ["File Names"]
        csv_writer.writerow(header)

        for file_name in duplicate_files:
            csv_writer.writerow(file_name)

As @Grismar said, you can use the modules os or shutil .

import os
import shutil

os.rename("your/current/path/file.txt", "your/new/path/file.txt")
shutil.move("your/current/path/file.txt", "your/new/path/file.txt")

personal preference: shutil ; because if you're on windows, os.rename will silently replace an existing file with the same name.
