Hi!
I'm currently making a simple python script for backuping the N-Gage 2.0 files, I've tried using the shutil.copytree but the shutil.py in PyS60 doesn't contain any declarations for it.
I want to copy ALL directories and files form C:\Private\20007b39 to E:\ngage_backup
How can I solve my problem?

Hi Quintasan,

You can use e32 module for copying files.

From Python Reference Library:

file copy(target name, source name )

Copies the file source name to target name . The names must be complete paths.

For example:

import e32

source = 'E:\\Example.sisx'
target = 'E:\\MyFolder'

e32.file_copy(target, source)

Easy?

Although, with e32 module you can't get all the files from a folder, so you will have to list them all

By the way, I don't think we have access to Private folders using PyS60.


EDIT: Post number 200


Hope it helps,

Rafael.

Thanks,
If it's like this, I will use the e32 module
I would like to know how to list the files (-_-"), I couldnt find anything in the API refrence

Well, you could do something like this:

import e32

source = ['E:\\Example.sisx', 'E:\\Example2.sisx', 'E:\\Example3.sisx']
target = 'E:\\MyFolder'

e32.file_copy(target, source[0])
e32.file_copy(target, source[1])
e32.file_copy(target, source[2])

Using this, you would access the items from the list 'source' by using source[0] (first item), source[1] (second item), source[2] (third item) etc.


Hope it helps,

Rafael.

I think he meant listing the files in the Private directory. That may be a problem due to the fact that Private is restricted. Generally you could use os.listdir(path) but it might not work here.

Hi Bogdan,

Yes, on the previous post (the one before the code) I told him:

By the way, I don't think we have access to Private folders using PyS60.

Although, he asked how to list after reading this, so I think he wants an example.


BR,

Rafael.
