[Tutor] File renaming using os.rename problem (spir)

[Roy Hinkelman]

I got it.

Switched to shutil and made to paths complete paths. The added benefit is
that it didn't trash the original file.

shutil.copy2(_files_to_mod + "\\" + fname, _files_to_mod + "\\" + new_name)

Thanks.

Why don't you simply print out fname? This should point you to the error.

I did here:
>         if fname == old_name:
>             print fname # test

and it looks correct.

On an WinXP, should I use shutil instead?
