#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:

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

[bowlofred]

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

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

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

1	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.
