fabric check of existing folder and make new one

Question

In my fabfile.py I am making a directory:

sudo('mkdir mysite')

I want to check if this site exists then I want to move it to mysite_bkup and create mysite

env.path = '/var/www/html/{}'.format(env['project_name'])
if exists(env.path):
    sudo("mv %(path)s %(path)s + '_bkup'" % env)

But its giving me error... How can I change the name of it..

Thank you

Answer 1

I did it like this:

backup = env.path + '_bkup'
print backup
if exists(env.path):
    if exists(backup):
        sudo('rm -rf {}'.format(backup))
    sudo('mv {} {}'.format(env.path, backup))
