moving a file in python using shutil
Question: I know there have been some posts on how to move a file in python but I am a
little confused. I am working on a program that has a file called test.txt

The file path is this: `C:\Users\user\Desktop\Project1\Project1`  
I want to move it to: `C:\Users\user\Documents\ProjectMoved`  
I tried different variations of what I have below

    
    
    src="C:\\Users\\user\\Desktop\\Project1\\Project1\\test.txt"
    dst="C:\\Users\\user\\Documents\\ProjectMoved"
    shutil.move(src, dst)
    

I keep getting the error no such file in directory.

I was wondering if someone could help me out with the correct way to move the
file.


Answer: Might be worth checking the file exists and then trying to specify paths using
`os.path.join`:

    
    
    import shutil
    import os
    from os.path import join
    
    src = join('/', 'Users', 'username', 'Desktop', 'a.pdf')
    dst = join('/', 'Users', 'username', 'Documents', 'a.pdf')
    
    shutil.move(src, dst)
    

You can first verify if the `src` actually exists:

    
    
    os.path.exists(src)
    >>> True
