I did not try Davids example but Kents works fine here;

#!/usr/bin/python
#Python 2.6.2
import os
src = '/home/david/test_src/'
dst = '/home/david/test/'
listofFiles = os.listdir(src)
for fnames in listofFiles:
     os.system("mv %s/%s %s" % (src, fnames, dst))
results = os.listdir(dst)
print results

[results]
david [03:37 PM] opteron ~ $ ./tutor_mv.py
['fruit_loops.py', 'numberList.py', 'sumList.py']
david [03:42 PM] opteron ~ $ ls /home/david/test
fruit_loops.py  numberList.py  sumList.py
