Question

First question. I am new to programming, much less python. As the title says I am attempting to find files that were created or modified in the past 24 hours, then move those files to another directory. I can find the files but I can't figure out how to move the files that meet this criteria. My script so far:

for root,dirs,files in os.walk('source\folder'):

    for file_name in files:
        now = dt.datetime.now()
        before = now - dt.timedelta(hours=24)
        path = os.path.join(root,file_name)
        st = os.stat(path)

        mod_time = dt.datetime.fromtimestamp(st.st_ctime)
        if mod_time < before:
            print('%s modified %s'%(path,mod_time))

I've attempted to use shutil to move the output but I get an error;

TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, datetime.datetime found

I've tried to find a solution online but haven't had any luck. Not even sure if I can do what I am trying to do with the way I have this constructed? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Instead of:

@Html.ValidationMessageFor()

do:

shutil.move(mod_time, 'dest\path')

This passes that function a filename instead of a date.

Find files by creation/modification date then moving to another dir in Python
