To run...

• python -B main.py
  • (-B prevents .pyc files from being generated)

How to use...

In main.py, there are 2 variables source_directory, and target_directory. Change those to the directory where your files are, and where you'd like them to go. This will not move files; it copies files.

By default, they are:

source_directory = '.'
target_directory = './out'

Files found in source_directory will be copied to target_directory such that an os-safe version of the filename will be used for the directory name, as a subdir in target_directory.

So, for example if we had:

# source directory -->

/
|-- main.py
|-- /classes
|   |-- directoryWalker.py
|   |-- fileFilter.py

You would end up with:

# target directory-->

/
|-- /main
|   |-- main.py
|-- /directoryWalker
|   |-- directoryWalker.py
|-- /fileFilter
|   |-- fileFilter.py
