Answer: This is kind of a wild guess, but I'm pretty sure that this is your problem,
so I'll give it a try.

Note that `os.listdir` returns a list of filenames only; it does not include
the directory that was the parameter to `os.listdir`. I.e., you have to tell
`shutils.move` where to find those files! Also, you might have to create the
destination directory, if it does not yet exist. Try this:

    
    
    import shutil, os
    source = "/tmp/"
    destination = "/tmp/newfolder/"
    if not os.path.exists(destination):
        os.makedirs(destination)                 # only if it does not yet exist
    for f in os.listdir(source):
        if f.endswith(".txt"):
            shutil.move(source + f, destination) # add source dir to filename
