Copy Files from Directory to Folders using Python

Certainly! Copying files from one directory to folders in Python can be achieved using the shutil module, which provides a high-level interface for file operations. Below is a step-by-step tutorial with a code example:
In this tutorial, we will use the shutil module to perform file operations. Start by importing it at the beginning of your Python script.
Define the source directory from which you want to copy files and the destination directory where you want to place the copied files.
Make sure to replace /path/to/source_directory and /path/to/destination_directory with the actual paths of your source and destination directories.
Use the os.listdir() function to obtain a list of files in the source directory.
Now, loop through each file in the source directory and copy it to the corresponding folder in the destination directory.
This code snippet assumes that the files in the source directory have unique names (excluding the file extension). It creates a folder for each file in the destination directory and copies the corresponding file into that folder.
Save your script with a .py extension (e.g., copy_files.py) and run it. Make sure to replace the source and destination directory paths with your actual paths.
The script will copy files from the source directory to folders in the destination directory, creating folders as needed.
That's it! You've successfully created a Python script to copy files from a directory to folders.
