When it comes to using Python to copy files, there are two main ways: using the shutil module or the os module. All of the os methods we show here are methods that allow us to execute shell commands from our Python code, which we'll use to execute the
Computer programs are written with a specific purpose in mind. Tools on UNIX/Linux systems follow the idea of specialization - one tool for one task, but to do it as perfect as possible, then. Nethertheless, as with other tools, this allows you to combine single programs, and to
A CSV (Comma Separated Values) file is a file that uses a certain formatting for storing data. This file format organizes information, containing one record per line, with each field (column) separated by a delimiter. The delimiter most commonly used is usually a comma.
