So Hey! I Have A Problem Not Homework

Problem: I Have Many Font Files(Zip Download From GOogle Zip) And I Want to Move Them Only Ttf And Otf Files

SO I have Done THis Approach

#import libraries
from pathlib import Path
import os
from datetime import datetime
from collections import namedtuple
import pandas as pd
import shutil

#Create A File nametuple

file = namedtuple('File','name path size modified_date')

#Create Empty list
files = []

#File Path
p = Path(r"C:\Users\DELL\Desktop\Python_Projects\fonts-master\fonts-master\ofl")

#iterate though path objects find all that end with .ttf and .otf save to list

for item in p.glob('**/*'):
    if item.suffix in ['.ttf','.otf']:
        name = item.name
        path = Path.resolve(item).parent
        size = item.stat().st_size
        modified = datetime.fromtimestamp(item.stat().st_mtime)
        files.append(file(name, path, size, modified))
        #print(os.path.exists(str(path)))
        #ERROR BELOW
        shutil.move(path,r'C:\Users\DELL\Desktop\Python_Projects\fonts-master\All Fonts')
        
#Create Dataframe from list

df = pd.DataFrame(files)

#Export To Csv
df.to_csv('ttf_and_otf.csv',index=False)

Here Are The Errors

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    shutil.move(path,r'C:\Users\DELL\Desktop\Python_Projects\fonts-master\All Fonts')

shutil.move() is expecting a string representing a filename or path, not a Path object. Most os file functions can take path-like objects, but I don't think shutil can.

You can call it with str(path) instead of just path.

I Have tried str(path)

But hey can you tell me how to move specific files from one dir to another dir

Can you show the error when you try? This code moves a "foo" file to the "target" directory.

from pathlib import Path
import shutil

p = Path(".")
for item in p.glob('**/*foo'):
    print(item)
    shutil.move(str(item), r"target")

Hey! Thanks For The Help I Solved My Error Manually And I Want to Thank You!

For Your Help I AM Able To Move Files!

Here Is The Command

I Used

shutil.move(os.path.join(path,name),'Destination')

But Is There A Way To Ignore errors In python

Why would you want to ignore errors? They tell you that something's wrong and likely needs to be fixed for the program to work correctly.
