How to copy zipfile from one folder to another folder using Python

Question

Please don't mark the question as a duplicate. I have tried multiple questions and it didn't work for me. hence I am raising a new question.

Problem :

I am trying to copy a list of zip files from my source to the destination folder.I have tried using shutil.copy and shutil.copyfile but I don't see the file getting copied into my destination folder. Can someone help me if I am doing anything wrong or is there any other way of handling zip files. Following is my script and I don't see any error while executing the script. I am running on a Linux machine.

import os,shutil,time
source="/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/JobA/build-output"
destination="/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/JobA/m_output"
mod_files = ["file_1.zip","file_2.zip","file_3.zip","Folder_A","Folder_B"]
os.chdir(source)
if len(mod_files) != 0:
    for file in mod_files:
        if file in os.listdir(source) and file.endswith(".zip"):
            try:
                shutil.copy(file, destination)
                time.sleep(10)
                print("Copied ---- {} ---- to ---- {} ---- \n\n".format(file,
                                                                        destination))
            except Exception as e:
                print("Exception occurred while copying the file to destination \n {}".format(e))
        else:
            raise Exception("{} bundle doesn\'t exist in {} ".format(file, source))
else:
    sys.exit(0)

Answer 1

The issue was with the argument you have give for source for the function shutil.copy , so change shutil.copy(file, destination) to shutil.copy(os.path.join(source, file), destination)

Try the code below,

import os,shutil
import time
source = "/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/JobA/build-output"
destination = "/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/JobA/m_output"
mod_files = ["file_1.zip","file_2.zip","file_3.zip","Folder_A","Folder_B"]
if len(mod_files) != 0:
    for file in mod_files:
        if file in os.listdir(source) and file.endswith(".zip"):
            try:
                shutil.copy(os.path.join(source, file), destination)
                time.sleep(10)
                print("Copied ---- {} ---- to ---- {} ---- \n\n".format(file,
                                                                        destination))
            except Exception as e:
                print("Exception occurred while copying the file to destination \n {}".format(e))
        else:
            raise Exception("{} bundle doesn\'t exist in {} ".format(file, source))
else:
    sys.exit(0)
