[Tutor] Convert my .bat and .vbs to .py

[Rob Andrews]

I can confirm it works nicely in Windows. I have a script I use
several times daily to create working directories on a local
workstation by copying over arbitrarily deep directory trees into an
"original files" directory under a root directory named by job number.
The local workstation on which I have python running is a Windows
machine, and it's agnostic about the operating systems of the network
drives from which the data is gathered.

Quite handy and not even a very long program after the try/except
bulletproofing is added.
