move a csv file in python

To move a CSV file from one location to another in Python, you can use the os and shutil modules.

The os module provides a set of methods to interact with the file system, such as copying, moving, renaming, etc. The shutil module builds on top of os and provides some additional high-level file operations.

Here is an example code to move a CSV file using these modules:

main.py
import os
import shutil

# specify the path of the CSV file to move
csv_file_path = '/path/to/csv/file.csv'

# specify the destination directory
destination_dir = '/path/to/destination/directory/'

# use shutil to move the file to the destination directory
shutil.move(csv_file_path, destination_dir)

# or use os to move the file
# os.rename(csv_file_path, os.path.join(destination_dir, os.path.basename(csv_file_path)))
422 chars
15 lines

In this code, we first specify the path of the CSV file we want to move and the destination directory we want to move it to. Then, we use shutil.move() method to move the file to the destination directory. Alternatively, we can use os.rename() method to achieve the same result.

Note that both methods can be used for any file type, not just CSV files.
